 | | Osteoarthritis can affect the fingers, the spine, and the shoulder. | | | For severe pain, narcotic pain relievers such as tramadol and eventually opioids (hydrocodone, oxycodone or morphine) may be necessary; this is reserved for very severe cases and is rarely necessary. | | | The joints mainly affected by osteoarthritis are the hip joints and the knee joints, although in theory any joint in the body can be affected. |

| | As part of the physical examination, the doctor will touch and move the patient's joint to evaluate swelling, limitations on the range of motion, pain on movement, and crepitus (a cracking or grinding sound heard during joint movement). | | | Patients with OA may have joint pain on only one side of the body and it primarily affects the knees, hands, hips, feet, and spine. | | | There is no laboratory test that is specific for osteoarthritis. |

| | People who are overweight are at greater risk for osteoarthritis, as are athletes (because of joint injuries) and people whose occupations involve intense physical activity. | | | Osteoarthritis (OA) is what people often mean when they speak of "arthritis." It should be distinguished from rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a very different health condition. | | | Osteoarthritis, also called degenerative joint disease, is an often-painful condition caused by deterioration of the protective cartilage that covers the ends of the bones, at the joints. |
