Q What is osteoarthritis (OA)?
A Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis. It can occur in any joint, but most often experienced in the hands, knees, hips or spine. Cartilage is a firm, rubbery material that covers the ends of each bone. Healthy cartilage absorbs the shock of movement providing a smooth, gliding surface for joint motion in between bones. In OA, the cartilage breaks down, causing pain, swelling and problems moving the joint. In the final stages of OA, the cartilage wears away and bones rub against each other leading to joint damage and more severe pain.
