The most ordinarily elaborate joints are the two close to the closures of the fingers and the joint at the base of the thumbs; the knee and hip joints; and the joints of the neck and lower back. Joints on one side of the body are frequently more influenced than those on the other. inflammation, just the joints, not inside organs, are affected.

Causes incorporate past joint injury, anomalous joint or appendage advancement, and acquired factors. Risk is more prominent in the individuals who are overweight, have legs of various lengths, or have occupations that bring about significant levels of joint stress. Osteoarthritis is accepted to be brought about by mechanical weight on the joint and second rate fiery processes. It creates as ligament is lost and the hidden bone becomes affected. As torment may make it hard to work out, muscle misfortune may occur. Diagnosis is commonly founded on signs and manifestations, with clinical imaging and different tests used to help or preclude other problems. Rather than rheumatoid joint pain, in osteoarthritis the joints don't get hot or red.

The main symptom is pain, causing loss of ability and often stiffness. The pain is typically made worse by prolonged activity and relieved by rest. Stiffness is most common in the morning, and typically lasts less than thirty minutes after beginning daily activities, but may return after periods of inactivity. Osteoarthritis can cause a crackling noise (called "crepitus") when the affected joint is moved, especially shoulder and knee joint. A person may also complain of joint locking and joint instability.

These symptoms would affect their daily activities due to pain and stiffness. Some people report increased pain associated with cold temperature, high humidity, or a drop in barometric pressure, but studies have had mixed results. Osteoarthritis commonly affects the hands, feet, spine, and the large weight-bearing joints, such as the hips and knees, although in theory, any joint in the body can be affected. As osteoarthritis progresses, movement patterns (such as gait), are typically affected. Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of a joint effusion of the knee.
