Symptoms such as pain when moving, stiffness when getting out of bed in the morning, creaking in the knees, etc. may be directly related to "things that come with age". But in reality, these signs could hide something much more serious and serious: osteoarthritis, a silent but quite common disease that affects millions of people around the world.
Osteoarthritis is a rheumatic and degenerative disease that deteriorates cartilage - the tissue that acts as a natural cushion between the bones that covers our ts. When this cartilage weakens or disappears, the bones begin to rub against each other, causing pain, stiffness and loss of mobility.
Although osteoarthritis is usually associated with older people, it is not always related to age and the natural wear and tear of our bodies. There are other risk factors to consider: being overweight, lack of physical exercise, certain repetitive jobs and even genetic predisposition. Unfortunately, gender also plays a role in this condition, as women suffer from it more frequently than men.
Although osteoarthritis does not have a definitive cure, there are ways to delay its progression and improve the quality of life of people who suffer from it. Gentle and moderate physical exercise - such as walking, swimming or cycling - can help strengthen the muscles that protect the ts and keep them active. It is also important to maintain a healthy weight and adapt your daily routine to avoid overloading.
