Did You Know?
Osteoarthritis
Arthritis is a condition where the joint becomes inflamed, causing pain and immobility. It usually appears with age, getting worse as a person becomes older. This happens when the fluid that keeps the bone from rubbing against the tissue or sac begins to decrease in volume. The continuous rubbing of the bone against tissue causes it to become irritated and damaged. This is called osteoarthritis.
