Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis on joints
Warning signs of Osteoarthritis:
- Steady or intermittent pain in a joint
- Stiffness in a joint after getting out of bed or sitting for a long time
- Swelling or tenderness in one or more joints
- A crunching feeling or the sound of bone rubbing on bone
- Hot, red, or tender? Probably not osteoarthritis. Check with your doctor about other causes, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
- Pain? Not always. In fact, only a third of people whose x rays show evidence of osteoarthritis report pain or other symptoms.
