We all know the feeling. Creaky knees. A sore shoulder. Pain in your hips. It comes after sitting too long, or walking for a while, or from doing just about anything, really. Usually, we’ll just chalk that kind of pain up to a particularly intense game, long run, or some other physical activity. Maybe even just getting old. Certainly, those things can contribute to how we’re feeling, but it may be something more specific:
Osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis occurs when the protective cartilage in your joints wears away 1 due to the wear and tear on your joints from physical activity.
