Is osteoarthritis with severe bone spurs a serious condition?
The severity of osteoarthritis and osteoproliferation depends on the condition of the patient. If the symptoms are mild, it is generally not severe, but if the symptoms are severe, it is more serious.
1. Not Severe: Osteoarthritis is a joint disease that primarily affects articular cartilage and involves the entire joint tissue, which may be related to genetic factors, obesity, inflammation, and other factors. Patients may experience joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and other symptoms. Osteoproliferation is a bony outgrowth formed on the normal bone edge, which is a kind of degenerative disease. If the patient's condition is relatively minor and no obvious discomfort symptoms appear, special treatment is generally not required. In this case, it is usually not severe.
2. Severe: If the patient's condition is severe, with severe joint pain, limited mobility, and affecting normal walking, even leading to an inability to live normally, it is more severe. If not treated promptly, it may also cause muscle atrophy, limb deformities, and other conditions. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention promptly and take medications such as Celecoxib Capsules and Diclofenac Sodium Sustained-Release Tablets under the guidance of a doctor to alleviate pain symptoms. If necessary, surgical treatment such as artificial joint replacement can also be performed under the doctor's instructions.
In daily life, it is recommended that patients rest, avoid excessive fatigue and strenuous exercise. At the same time, pay attention to healthy eating and consume more calcium-rich foods, such as milk and shrimp shells.
