Osteoarthritis? Osteoartritis is a common misspelling of osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis is a joint disease that is especially common in older people. In a person with osteoarthritis, cartilage has worn away, which allows bones to rub together. A few common symptoms of osteoarthritis include joint pain, stiffness, and limited movement. In making a diagnosis of osteoarthritis, the healthcare provider will ask a number of questions, and may recommend certain tests (such as x-rays or blood tests). Treating osteoarthritis can involve exercise, medicines, surgery, or alternative therapies.
