Osteoarthritis is known as the ‘wear and tear’ form of arthritis. Because the cartilage wears away and becomes rough, the protective space between the bones diminishes due to the joints rubbing together. Anyone over the age of 50 is at a higher risk of this condition, which can lead to immobilization and joint pain.
