If you are suffering from joint pain, then you are one among the million sufferers. It is a common disorder that affects many in varying degrees. Aging that causes degeneration of bones and cartilages is the most prevailing factor, which ultimately leads to osteoarthritis. In this case the protective cushioning of the cartilage wears away due to constant friction causing immense pain. Not only age, but unhealthy and sedentary life style may induce osteoarthritis at an early age. Apart from this, various strenuous activities or over exertion of the joints can result in joint pains e.g. sportsmen experience serious joint pain conditions.
Women pose a higher risk of joint pain than men after menopause due to low estrogen levels. Main joints like those of hips, shoulders and knees face the brunt of this wear and tear, as maximum mobility of the body is dependent on these joints. Other joints of ankles, heels, fingers and wrists are also affected by arthritis.
