Summary

Introduction

Background in the later stageHantisandhi (restricted joint movements).[6]Pain have been regarded as a symptom of an underlying condition.1Pain is the main causative factor that forces a person to visit a doctor immediately. Hantisandhi (restricted joint movements).[6]. The most common symptom as joint pain and stiffness is a diseased condition called Osteoarthritis. Other symptoms may include joint swelling, decreased range of motion[2].Osteoarthritis is erroneously called degenerative joint disease, which mostly affects cartilage. Cartilage is the slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones in a joint. Healthy cartilage allows bones to glide over each other, absorb the shock of movement. The top layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This breakdown of cartilage allows bones under the cartilage to rub together. The rubbing causes pain, swelling, and loss of motion of the joint.[3]
