Currently, more than 20 million people in the U.S. have Osteoarthritis (OA), and that figure will rise to as high as 70 million by the year 2030 if not sooner.
The most common type of arthritis is Osteoarthritis (OA). In this degenerative disease, the cartilage that covers and cushions the ends of the bones breaks down, causing the bones to rub together and pain is the result. As the U.S. population ages, the incidence of Osteoarthritis pain is increasing at a rapid rate due to the aging of the population as associated with the Baby Boomers.
If you do develop OA, talk with your doctor about which medications can help you stem the pain. Other pain-relieving measures include the application of heat, ice or capsaicin cream to the joint, and acupuncture (particularly for OA of the knee).
