Joint wear is more common than you think, and it may be limiting your mobility without you realizing it.
Do your knees hurt when going up stairs? Do you feel stiffness when you wake up or after sitting for long periods?
Many people assume it’s just fatigue or age, but it could actually be osteoarthritis, a progressive joint condition that affects mobility.
Understanding it early can make a significant difference in your quality of life.
What is osteoarthritis and who does it affect?
It occurs when the cartilage that protects your joints wears down, causing friction between the bones.
It is more common after the age of 50, although it can appear earlier when certain factors are present.
The most important thing is not to ignore pain when it becomes constant. Seeking medical evaluation early helps identify the level of joint wear and prevent further progression.
