1. OSTEOARTHRITIS

2. It is a type of joint disease that results from breakdown of joint cartilage and
underlying bone. The most common symptoms are joint pain and stiffness.
The most commonly involved joints are those near the ends of the fingers, at
the base of the thumb, neck, lower back, knee, and hips. Joints on one side of
the body are often more affected than those on the other. Usually the
symptoms come on over years.
