Does Difficulty In Bending And Straightening Up Indicate Osteoarthritis?
Checking my symptoms, I am guessing I may be dealing with what my mom had, OA. Seems I am having issues bending, straightening up, stiffness more on one buttock which affects turning over in bed, and now even walking up stairs. Seem reasonable conclusion? Just turned 64. Knees don’t seem to hurt, but hand into wrist becoming painful.

Hi,
The symptoms can be early signs of arthritis including osteoarthritis.
As of now, you can take analgesics like Tramadol for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
