🦴What is osteoarthritis? 🦴Osteoarthritis is a progressive joint disease that can affect many joints in the body, such as the hands, spine, knees, and hips. Osteoarthritis has many contributing factors, including previous joint trauma, joint overload, diabetes, thyroid issues, and obesity. Some symptoms of osteoarthritis are joint stiffness, joint pain, grinding sensations within the joints, and reduced range of motion.
