🚨 Did you know? Stage 4 is the most severe stage of osteoarthritis. By this stage, the protective cartilage has worn away, allowing bones to rub against each other. This can lead to severe pain, stiffness, swelling, and difficulty moving. Persistent joint pain isn't something to ignore. Early evaluation and appropriate care can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
