Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of joint cartilage and underlying bone, leading to symptoms like joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and decreased range of motion, most commonly affecting the fingers, thumbs, knees, hips, neck, and lower back. Risk factors include joint injury, obesity, aging, misaligned joints, and family history, with symptoms typically progressing slowly and potentially interfering with daily activities.
