Hello. Thank you for your message today.
Osteoarthritis is the wearing down of the protective tissue at the ends of bones (cartilage) which occurs gradually and worsens over time. Joint pain in the hands, neck, lower back, knees, or hips is the most common symptom. Medications, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery can help reduce pain and maintain joint movement. Speak to your doctor about your options moving forward.
