There are around 100 fully formed joints in the body. If only one joint is affected, it is referred to as monoarthrosis; if several joints are affected, it is referred to as polyarthrosis; however, the number of joints affected is irrelevant for osteoarthritis treatment.

One of the typical symptoms of osteoarthritis is, for example, start-up pain. Pain occurs at the beginning of a movement after a long period of rest: for example, when standing up after sitting for a long time. The pain usually subsides after a short period of movement. Morning stiffness is also a common sign of osteoarthritis. After getting up, the joints feel stiffer, but this disappears relatively quickly. If the joints are inflamed, however, this stiffness lasts longer. In addition, there may be tenderness in the joints, reduced mobility, crunching during movement or swelling.
