Unlike other forms of arthritis, osteoarthritis does not involve inflammation, but rather a breakdown of tissue over time. The primary cause is the wear and tear of cartilage, the protective tissue at the ends of bones. Initially, symptoms may include joint pain and stiffness, which progress to decreased range of motion as the disease advances. Understanding Osteoarthritis Pain Causes The pain associated with osteoarthritis can be quite debilitating, impacting daily life and mobility. Joint pain in osteoarthritis originates from complex mechanisms involving both peripheral and central processing. Structural changes within the joint, such as cartilage degradation and bone spurs, are peripheral components, while central sensitization refers to the increased responsiveness of the nervous system over time, amplifying the perceived pain. Impact on Quality of Life Osteoarthritis affects not only the joints b...
