What are osteoarthritis symptoms? - KeithD - 03-02-2023
The symptoms of osteoarthritis typically include:
- Pain and stiffness in the affected joint, especially after periods of inactivity such as sitting or sleeping
- Decreased range of motion in the affected joint
- Swelling or tenderness in the joint
- A crunching sensation or the sound of bone grinding on bone when the joint is moved
- The formation of bony spurs around the joint
Symptoms may develop gradually over time and may range from mild to severe, depending on the extent of joint damage.
