Osteoarthritis is a disease of the joint that usually affects the bone cartilage. The functional cartilage allows the bones to glide past each other without pain however, when there is already joint pain when moving, the cartilage might have been damaged. The condition wherein the top layers of the cartilage covering the edges of the bone is torn or worn away is called osteoarthritis. One way of reducing the risk of osteoarthritis is to maintain a healthy weight. A reduced movement among people with osteoarthritis is commonly experienced.
