Arthritis

The most common type of arthritis is osteoarthritis. This is the type of arthritis that most people have heard of and tend to associate with terms such as “wear and tear” and “getting old”. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, in which the tissues in the joint break down over time. It is therefore more common in older people.

Symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain, stiffness, and swelling in the affected joints. Symptoms can develop slowly or start quickly after an injury (post-traumatic arthritis).

Osteoarthritis can lead to changes in bone, cartilage, and other joint tissues, which can make it difficult to do daily tasks or work.

Osteoarthritis can affect the joints in your feet, most commonly the big toe joint, ankle joint, and midfoot joints.

There is no cure for osteoarthritis, but there are treatments and management options that can help keep your joints functioning.
