Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It happens when the cartilage (protective tissue at the end of bones) gradually wears away. Commonly affects knees, hips, hands and spine — causing pain, stiffness and reduced movement.
Causes
- Age-related wear and tear
- Previous joint injuries
- Overweight / obesity
- Repetitive stress on joints
- Family history (genetics)
Symptoms
- Joint pain during/after movement
- Morning stiffness or after rest
- Loss of flexibility
- Grating feeling or swelling around joint
Treatment & Management
No full cure, but symptoms can be managed to improve life quality:
- Physiotherapy — strengthen muscles, improve movement
- Low-impact exercises: walking, cycling, swimming
- Weight management to reduce joint load
- Heat / cold packs for pain relief
- Braces, walking stick if required
