Symptom #6: Difficulty Performing Tasks
One of the most difficult things about osteoarthritis is the fact that people tend to lose the ability to perform some of their daily tasks. This is largely because they lose a lot of the ability to move their joints in ranges of motion that are needed for daily tasks.
This can happen because of the degrading cartilage in the bones, but it can get worse because the muscles around the joints will fall out of use if you don’t use them. This is another reason that it’s important to get your stretches in when you are struggling with osteoarthritis, and also to make a point of exercising as much as possible (while remaining within a comfortable range of motion).
