Over time, the cartilage may wear away in some areas, greatly decreasing its ability to act as a shock absorber. As the cartilage deteriorates, tendons and ligaments stretch, causing pain. If the condition worsens, the bones could rub against each other causing bone deterioration. ]]> 2019-11-25 09:56:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tahirah_dalila/kp17mtwq4w8y/wish/416059377 tahirah_dalila https://padlet.com/tahirah_dalila/kp17mtwq4w8y/wish/416059785 - ageing

higher at risk if- overweight
- inherited 
- overuse 
- repetitive movement
- damaged tendons and ligaments can speed cartilage breakdown
- overusing your joint when it has not had enough time to heal after an injury or operation
- obesity puts more strain on the joint (more risk in weight bearing joints such as knees and ankles)
- gender as developing Osteoarthritis is more common in women than in men
