Abstract
Purpose: Exercise and patient education are considered first-line treatment for patients with knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA) and mild analgesics are recommended when first-line treatments are insufficient to reduce symptoms, while opioids are not recommended in the management of OA at all. However, studies have indicated that a large proportion of patients are not offered first-line treatment, but likely use analgesics instead, including opioids, for their joint pain.
