What is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, caused by the gradual wear and tear of cartilage that cushions the joints. It often leads to joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced flexibility. The condition can worsen over time and may limit mobility or require the use of supports like walking sticks. An ICE card helps ensure your diagnosis is known to emergency teams, helping them provide safer, more appropriate care.
