What causes osteoarthritis? Bone densification

summary

I'm a little fat man. I like eating since I was a child. I'm getting fatter and fatter as I grow older. When I was young, I was a flexible little fat man, but in the past two years, I feel that my action has been more and more hindered. From time to time, I feel special pain in my joints. After I went to the hospital for an examination, I found out that I had osteoarthritis. When I get sick, I not only feel joint pain, but also swelling. I can even hear the sound of friction when I move. For a long time, the doctor told me that I might have the sequelae of muscle atrophy.

What causes osteoarthritis? Bone densification

First: what causes osteoarthritis? Generally speaking, cartilage lesions are more common, leading to osteoarthritis. After the cartilage lesions, its surface is very rough, lost normal elasticity, and there will be some spalling. After a long time, it will form a free body in the joint, leading to arthritis.

Second: bone changes may also lead to arthritis, cartilage detachment, bone marrow blood vessels and fibrous tissue growing under the bone surface, resulting in new bone deposition under the bare bone surface to form a sclerotic layer, bone becomes dense, and the surface is smooth as ivory. In such a long time, it will produce joint inflammation and destroy the surrounding muscles.

Third: at present, some experts point out that osteoarthritis is related to age, gender, obesity, occupation and other factors. Generally appear in older, obese female patients. At the same time, endocrine abnormalities lead to excessive hyperthyroidism of thyroid hormones and arthritis.
