OsteoarthritisIf you feel pain in your joints, you may have osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a joint and bone infection caused by the process of bone calcification. Usually, the disorder which is also related with rheumatic bone disease only occurs in the knee. Unlike osteoporosis, which is thinning in almost all joints of the body.

The symptoms are usually difficulty in walking, rapid fatigue, difficulty in squatting, and easily fall. It also causes the limitation of motion, addiction to drugs and others, even depression.

Osteoarthritis is different from osteoporosis or bone loss. In osteoporosis, mass that forms bone is reduced, so that bones become hollow. The structure of bone fillers, which include compounds of collagen as well as calcium, function as bone cement. When this mass is reduced, the bone becomes less dense so it can not hold a light collision. As a result, bones break easily.

But, the impact of osteoarthritis diseases is like osteoporosis, which bones is easily broken. The other fatal effect is when a bulge appeared in the joints of the neck and waist, it can give an emphasis on intervertebralia foramen and nervispinalis. As a result, sufferers will experience muscle aches and soreness near the joints where the bulge is growing.

Go to doctor if you experience symptoms like the above. Do not let your illness getting worse.
