Initial symptoms of osteoarthritis

First, there is morning stiffness and morning adhesiveness. But different from rheumatoid arthritis, the time is relatively short, generally not more than 30 minutes. Adhesiveness refers to the feeling of stiffness when the joint is still for a period of time, such as adhesiveness, which can be relieved by a little movement. The above situation is more common in the elderly, lower limb joints.

Second, pain: pain is the main symptom of the disease, but also the main cause of dysfunction. It is characterized by occult attack and persistent dull pain, which often occurs after activity and can be relieved by rest. As the disease progresses, joint activity can be limited by pain, even at rest.

Third, other symptoms: with the progress of the disease, can appear joint contracture, instability, rest pain, weight-bearing pain aggravation. Dysfunction may occur due to mechanical atresia caused by poor joint surface anastomosis, muscle spasm and contraction, joint capsule contraction and bone spur.
