Osteoarthritis: Know The Demon Attacking Your Joints

As we’ve been discussing joints and movements, it’s important to know that all the cartilaginous joints that facilitate locomotion is equipped with a protective cartilage coating to help it retain its flexibility and reduce the wearing out of the same. However, if not maintained properly, the cartilage coating present in elbow, knee or shoulder joints tends to wear down and causes immense pain due to the friction in between the two bones which was joined by a cartilaginous joint. With passing time, you may face pain, stiffness and tenderness in your bones over increased inflammation posed by the osteoarthritis. Aggravated symptoms may include swelling and formation of bone spurs around the concerned joint if not treated well in time.
