Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that causes joint cartilage to break down and is the primary cause of loss of function and joint mobility.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For many years it was thought that osteoarthritis was an inevitable part of ageing and physical wear and tear, but this is not true: it is a disease that is not exclusive to older age and anyone can suffer from it.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Symptoms and treatment <\/h1>\n

Normally, osteoarthritis symptoms come on gradually and initially only affect one or a few joints.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Deep, intense pain is the first warning sign, and it tends to worsen with weight-bearing activities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some people report joint stiffness after a period of inactivity, which typically disappears 30 minutes after moving the joint.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Over time, osteoarthritis starts to cause more symptoms, joints lose mobility and ultimately lose the ability to fully extend and bend.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While osteoarthritis is a chronic disease, there are various therapeutic options to alleviate symptoms: pain medication, exercises, physical therapy and, in some cases, surgery.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
