• Osteoarthritis is a progressive disease and also
  known as arthritis of the bone. It relates to
  the breaking down of the smooth cartilage in the
  joints which help it move easily. The cartilage
  which is also a shock absorber reduces friction
  in the joints. The wearing away of this cartilage
  leads to an increase in friction in the joints
  which as a result, causes pain.
• In India, this joint disease has a prevalence of
  22 to 39 and is more common in women than men.
  Apart from age, other factors like previous
  injury, obesity and a sedentary lifestyle may
  lead to osteoarthritis. The onset of
  osteoarthritis can be spotted with acute
  observation at home before visiting a doctor for
  treatment. Below are some of the early symptoms
  you must look out for as an indicator of
