osteoarthritis

Answer 1

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that causes the breakdown of cartilage in the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It is the most common form of arthritis and typically affects the hands, knees, hips, and spine. Osteoarthritis can be caused by aging, obesity, joint injuries, and genetic factors. Treatment options include medications, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgery.
