What is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis (AH-stee-oh-ar-THREYE-tis) is the most common form of arthritis,
with rheumatoid arthritis in a distant second. Osteoarthritis
is also known as degenerative joint disease, OA, or osteoarthrosis.
It is what people generally think of when they think of arthritis,
as it commonly affects middle aged to elderly individuals
but it can strike almost any age or as a result of injury.
Is there a cure for arthritis?
At the current time, there is no cure for arthritis.
What causes the pain?
Joints consist of bones, with various types of sockets or connections
that link one bone end to another. Some bones just slide
across each other, while others like the hip joint use a
ball and socket. Between the bone ends there is a protective,
slippery layer known as cartilage (KAR-til-uj). Whenever
you move a joint, bones rub together with the cartilage padding
the between. For people without arthritis, the cartilage’s
job is to protect the bones when they rub against each other
by acting as a shock absorber or cushion. Think of it as
a thick Teflon® (Teflon® is a registered trademark
of DuPont) coating for the joints. In osteoarthritis, that
coating breaks down over and wears away. When the cartilage
is thin or gone, bones can rub directly together.
What are the results?
While bones can break, most of the time they are very strong and
rigid. When they rub together directly on each other, the
immediate result is pain, swelling, and a loss of mobility.
If this continues,
the ends of the bone may even lose their original shape,
causing deformities. Bone spurs (osteophytes) – small
growths on the bone that make the surface even less smooth – can
grow. Small pieces of bone or cartilage can break off and
float around inside the joint, further causing pain and
inflammation. In severe cases of osteoarthritis, you can
sometimes even hear the bones making a grinding noise as
they rub together. As you can see, osteoarthritis is one
of the worst forms of arthritis due to the continual effects
it has on people’s joints.

How can I tell if I have osteoarthritis?
Only your doctor can make an accurate diagnosis of osteoarthritis,
but some warning signs may include pain in weight bearing
joints such as the knee or hip, pain during joint movement,
swelling of the joints or even pain in your joints during
strenuous activities. An X-ray will generally confirm the
presence of osteoarthritis. Most people over the age of
60 will have radiographic (x-ray) evidence of the disease.
Roughly one third will have active symptoms.
Who
is at risk?
Anybody over the age of 45 is in the greatest risk range for developing
osteoarthritis. Women are slightly more at risk than men,
for reasons that we do not fully understand yet.
How can I deal with it?
If you are experiencing decreased flexibility, you should
strongly consider trying liquid glucosamine
Flexicose. Glucosamine is not a treatment for arthritis,
but it has been clinically shown to ease joint discomfort,
increase flexibility, and promote healthy cartilage. Flexicose
contains 1,500 mg of superior-quality
liquid glucosamine per 1/4 oz serving. Unlike most other
glucosamine products out there, Flexicose also contains
12 other joint discomfort easing ingredients such as Chondroitin,
