10 Osteoarthritis Symptoms

Symptom #9: Joint Locking
Joint locking, buckling, or ‘giving out’ of certain areas of your body can be particularly bothersome for people suffering from osteoarthritis. This is because of the weakening of the muscles around the joints.
This is especially true for the joints that support our body weight, like the knees and the ankles. People with osteoarthritis should be careful about their movements because it’s much easier for their knees to buckle, which can lead them to more serious injuries. This is another reason it’s important to stretch and exercise as much as possible.
