About Osteoarthritis Pain

Osteoarthritis is a type of disease which affects the cartilage and fluid that are present where two bones meet, known as the joint. In healthy people this cartilage acts as a shock absorber and allows the bones to move smoothly throughout their range of motion. The fluid also adds an extra barrier of protection by preventing friction and keeping the joint lubricated.

With someone who has osteoarthritis, however, this cartilage becomes thin and damaged and the fluid diminishes. Without these two important protective mechanisms the bones grind together causing damage, inflammation, swelling and pain.

Osteoarthritis can affect any of the joints in body, however it is most common in the knees, hips, hands, feet and spine. Currently Hyalgan injection treatment is only approved for osteoarthritis of the knee.
