- Joint swelling (bones around the joints may feel larger than normal)
- Ligaments and muscles around a joint become weaker and stiffer
- A cracking or grating sound when a joint is moved
- Limited range of joint motion

What are the Causes of Osteoarthritis?
The exact cause of OA is not yet known but causal factors include, but are not limited to:
- Natural aging and wear and tear.
- Bleeding disorders that cause bleeding in the joint, such as hemophilia.
- Disorders that block the blood supply near a joint and lead to avascular necrosis.
- Other types of arthritis, such as chronic gout, pseudogout or rheumatoid arthritis.
- OA can develop within 10 years of a major joint injury. For example, a teenager who tears their ACL at age 15 could begin to develop OA as early as age 25 or 30.
Prevalence of Osteoarthritis in United States
- Nearly 27 million U.S. adults age 25 and older have Osteoarthritis (OA), a number expected to increase with longer life expectancies, the obesity epidemic and the approaching wave of 78.2 million baby boomers reaching retirement age.
- Supporting this prediction, nearly one in two people may develop symptomatic knee OA by age 85 and half of all adults will develop symptomatic OA of the knee at some point in their lives.
- By 2030, a projected 67 million people will have doctor-diagnosed arthritis.
- Two of every three obese adults are at risk of developing OA.
- Before age 45, more men than women have osteoarthritis; after age 45, it is more common in women.
What are the risk factors developing Osteoarthritis?
Certain factors that increase the risk of developing OA include, but are not limited to:
- Heredity
- Being overweight
- Joint injury
- Repeated overuse of certain joints
- Lack of physical activity
- Nerve injury
- Aging
What are the Potential Complications from Osteoarthritis?
Other complications may arise from osteoarthritis. They include, but are not limited to:
- Pain that causes stiffness and loss of movement ability
- Muscle spasms and contractions in affected tendons
- Fluid accumulation in the joint
- Crackling noises in the joint
- Hard bony enlargements, nodes, or bunions form around the joint
