Osteoarthritis - Quick and Easy Reference

A joint is where two bones come together. The ends of these bones

are covered with protective tissue called cartilage. With OA, this cartilage breaks down,

causing the bones within the joint to rub together. This can cause pain, stiffness, and other symptoms.



The most common symptoms of osteoarthritis include:

pain

tenderness (discomfort when pressing on the area with your fingers)

stiffness

inflammation



Osteoarthritis diagnosis

Early OA is often diagnosed after an accident or other incident that causes a

fracture requiring an X-ray.

In addition to X-rays, your doctor may use an MRI scan to diagnose OA.
