What
is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis,
is the most common form of arthritis. Commonly known
as the wear and tear disease. This wear and tear occurs
due to the loss of cartilage. It affects mostly middle
aged men and women, but it is also found in younger
more active people.
The
reason osteoarthritis is painful is because of the bone
on bone contact that occurs due to the lack of cartilage.
When this cartilage is lost, which is the case when
one has osteoarthritis, it can be very painful. When
these bones rub together the result is pain. If this
is not attended to, the end result can be additional
loss of cartilage, and the production of bone spurs.
If
you suspect that you may have osteoarthritis? You may
feel pain in joints that bear weight, such as your knee
joints, and hip joints. The best method for diagnosing
osteoarthritis is for your doctor to perform and X ray.
