What is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people worldwide. It's a degenerative joint disease that causes the breakdown of cartilage, the cushioning material between your bones in the joints. This breakdown leads to pain, stiffness, swelling, and a loss of flexibility in the affected joint. While OA can affect any joint, it commonly targets weight-bearing joints like knees, hips, and lower back, and joints frequently used in daily activities like hands and fingers.

Causes of Osteoarthritis

While the exact cause of OA remains unknown, several factors contribute to its development:

  • Age: Cartilage naturally breaks down as we age, making us more susceptible to OA.
  • Joint Injury: Previous injuries, fractures, or ligament tears can increase the risk of OA in the affected joint.
  • Obesity: Excess weight puts extra stress on weight-bearing joints, accelerating cartilage wear and tear.
  • Family History: Having a close relative with OA increases your risk.
  • Repetitive Stress: Jobs or activities that involve repetitive movements or heavy lifting can strain joints and contribute to OA.

Symptoms of Osteoarthritis

The symptoms of OA can vary depending on the severity and location of the affected joint. Common symptoms include:

  • Pain: Aching or sharp pain, especially with movement or weight-bearing activities, often worse in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
  • Stiffness: Joint stiffness, particularly noticeable upon waking up or after sitting for long periods.
  • Swelling: Inflammation around the affected joint, causing visible puffiness.
  • Reduced Flexibility: Loss of the joint's full range of motion, making movement more difficult.
  • Grating or Popping Sensation: A grinding or popping sensation in the joint during movement.
