Osteoarthritis (OA) is considered to be very painful and affected nearly 29 million people in the U.S. It occurs due to the breakage of cartilage which further allows the bones to face and rub against each other. It typically targets men and women after they cross 45. Medication can surely help but not completely. There will be enough pain and swelling and medication can help or relieve some of the pain and would guard you from wear and tear of bones.

Preventing this kind of disorder is something very unpredictable and needs a life-long commitment. You need to understand the risks involved in it. It will surely differ from person to person. Hence, there are some people who would not encounter OA at the age of 80 but a 30+ might face OA.

The main reason fro OA is basically the joint located at he base of a thumb. Since the thumb is the most hard-working element it develops this problem. OA can also affect the hands, feet, hips and knees of an individual. Always keep your weight in total control and this might reduce the amount of stress on your knees. There are yet others who face spinal arthritis and hence need to constantly have a control on their weight.

There are other forms to lose weight which is surgery but will not be too effective. The reason being you need to lose weight naturally as surgery can just give a shortcut to losing weight. Relaxation is outmost important as other warm-up exercises. You need to give your body a break from the mundane things that you do. This will then enable to have a proper blood circulation and protect the joints from any further accidents. Avoid sitting in a particular position for a long period of time. Keep walking, take breaks every five minute and perform exercises while on work. Keep shifting positions and continue doing this for the rest of your life.
