There are many different types of arthritis. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What Is Osteoarthritis?<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6908\" src=\"https:\/\/joinastudy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/What-Is-Osteoarthritis-1.png\" alt=\"What Is Osteoarthritis?\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what is Osteoarthritis? It&rsquo;s the most common type of arthritis. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It affects more than<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.statcan.gc.ca\/pub\/82-003-x\/2014009\/article\/14087-eng.htm\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10 percent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of Canadians over the age of 15, and is caused by wear and tear on the joints.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though it can affect any joint in the body, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.boots.com\/osteoarthritis\/guide\/osteoarthritis-faqs\">osteoarthritis most often affects joints that bear weight,<\/a> such as the knees, hips, and spine. It may also affect the fingers, thumbs, neck, or large toes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it affects other joints in the body, it is typically the result of a past injury, extreme stress, or a condition that affects the cartilage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cartilage is a firm but flexible material that acts as a cushion between the bones. It absorbs shock and prevents friction in the joints. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Osteoarthritis affects the cartilage, causing it to stiffen and lose some of its elasticity. This makes it easier for cartilage to degenerate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, cartilage may disintegrate, compromising the joint\u2019s ability to absorb shock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To compensate, tendons and ligaments may stretch. In severe cases, the bones may rub against each other. This causes stiffness, pain, and difficulty moving\u2014the hallmarks of osteoarthritis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>1. What are the symptoms of osteoarthritis?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/osteoarthritis\/guide\/osteoarthritis-basics#1-2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms of osteoarthritis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tend to develop gradually, over time. They include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aching and soreness in the joints<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty moving<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain following inactivity and\/or overuse<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swelling of the joints<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b>2. Who gets osteoarthritis?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyone can get osteoarthritis. The chances of developing osteoarthritis increases with age. For instance, most<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/osteoarthritis\/guide\/osteoarthritis-basics#1-2\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">adults over the age of 60<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have at least some joint damage caused by osteoarthritis. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, severity varies. Among those 50 and older,<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/osteoarthritis\/guide\/osteoarthritis-basics#1-2\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">women are more likely to be affected.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adults in their 20s and 30s can also get osteoarthritis. In these cases, injuries caused by accidents or repetitive movements are often responsible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>What causes osteoarthritis?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/osteoarthritis\/guide\/osteoarthritis-basics#2-4\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">number of factors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> contribute to the development of osteoarthritis. These include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Genetics. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A hereditary abnormality in the genes responsible for making cartilage can make it easier for joints to deteriorate. People with certain genetic conditions, such as scoliosis or a curved spine, are more likely to develop osteoarthritis in the affected area.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Obesity. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excess weight can put additional stress on joints including the knees, hips, and spine.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Injuries.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Injuries, including broken bones, can make it easier to develop osteoarthritis. For instance, athletes who suffer knee injuries may be more likely to develop osteoarthritis of the knee later on in life.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Joint stress.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Repetitive use of certain joints can increase the risk of osteoarthritis.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Other health conditions. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People with rheumatoid arthritis are at an increased risk of developing osteoarthritis. Other rare conditions can also increase the risk.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><b>3. I think I have osteoarthritis. What should I do?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you think you have osteoarthritis, you should<strong> schedule an appointment with your family doctor<\/strong> to discuss your symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4. How is osteoarthritis diagnosed?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6907\" src=\"https:\/\/joinastudy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/What-Is-Osteoarthritis-2.png\" alt=\"What Is Osteoarthritis?\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no single<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.boots.com\/osteoarthritis\/guide\/osteoarthritis-faqs\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">test for osteoarthritis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Instead, your doctor may look at your medical and family history and conduct a physical exam. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other tests, including blood tests and X-rays, may be used to rule out other conditions that cause similar symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In addition, X-rays and MRIs are sometimes used to identify the extent of damage to the joints.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>5. Who treats osteoarthritis?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Osteoarthritis specialists are called rheumatologists. Your family physician might also refer you to an orthopedic surgeon, physiotherapist, or occupational therapist to treat symptoms related to osteoarthritis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>6. What treatments are available?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6906\" src=\"https:\/\/joinastudy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/What-Is-Osteoarthritis-3.png\" alt=\"What Is Osteoarthritis \" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a variety of<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/osteoarthritis\/medicines-treat-oa#1\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">treatments available for osteoarthritis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen, naproxen, and ibuprofen are often the first line of defense against pain. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your doctor may also prescribe a stronger anti-inflammatory drug or, in severe cases, a narcotic. Creams, sprays, and rubs can also help to relieve pain at the site of the joint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For pain that is severe and persistent, steroids may be injected into the joint every few months. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, some osteoarthritis experts believe this can exacerbate the joint damage. Hyaluronic acid injections have also been used to treat osteoarthritis in the knee joint. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supportive devices, such as orthopedic shoes or knee braces, can be used to reduce pressure on the joints.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, these treatments do not slow the progression of the disease. When other treatments fail to help you manage symptoms or osteoarthritis causes persistent pain that interferes with your day-to-day activities, your doctor might suggest surgery. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/osteoarthritis\/oa-treatment#2\">Common surgeries for osteoarthritis<\/a> include: \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joint replacement<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joint fusion<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthroscope<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>7.
