*Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis out of over 100 types of arthritis. Osteoarthritis can affect anyone; not just our elderly. As a matter of fact; it can strike the best of us, in great condition, at the prime of our lives. It normally happens when the articulating cartilage begins to gradually wear away over the course of time, leaving bones exposed to continuous friction against other bones. It can also be caused by a sedentary lifestyle, disease, heredity, or injuries. However it is painful, all the same.
