Osteoarthritis:
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and
the most common joint disease, Known as degenerative
joint disease or osteoarthrosis. Most of the people who
have Osteoarthritis are older than age 45, and women
are more commonly affected than men. Osteoarthritis
most often occurs at the ends of the fingers, thumbs,
neck, lower back, knees, and hips.
Symptoms
Osteoarthritis symptoms often develop slowly and worsen over
time. Signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis include:
• Pain
• Stiffness
• Tenderness.
• Loss of flexibility
• Grating sensation
• Swelling.
Causes
• Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions the ends
of bones in your joints gradually deteriorates. Cartilage is a firm,
slippery tissue that enables nearly frictionless joint motion.
Eventually, if the cartilage wears down completely, bone will rub
on bone.
• Osteoarthritis has often been referred to as a "wear and tear"
disease. But besides the breakdown of cartilage, osteoarthritis
affects the entire joint. It causes changes in the bone and
deterioration of the connective tissues that hold the joint
together and attach muscle to bone. It also causes inflammation
of the joint lining.
Risk factors
• Older age
• Sex
• Obesity
• Joint injuries
• Repeated stress on the joint
• Genetics
• Bone deformities
• Certain metabolic diseases
Complications
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that
worsens over time, often resulting in chronic pain.
Joint pain and stiffness can become severe
enough to make daily tasks difficult.
Diagnosis
During the physical exam, your doctor will check your affected
joint for tenderness, swelling, redness and flexibility.
Tests:
X-rays
MRI
Blood tests
Joint fluid analysis
Treatment
Osteoarthritis can't be reversed, but treatments can reduce pain and help you move better
Medications:
Acetaminophen
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
Duloxetine
Therapy:
Physical therapy
Occupational therapy
Surgical and other procedures:
Cortisone injections
Joint replacement
Lubrication injections
