What Is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis, usually known as wear-and-tear arthritis, is a disease in which the natural cushioning between joints — cartilagewears away. When this occurs, the bones of the joints rub more closely against one another with less of the shock-absorbing benefits of cartilage. The rubbing results in pain, stiffness, swelling diminished the ability to move and, seldom, the formation of bone spurs.
