Arthritis primarily affects the cartilage that lines the joints, which is the smooth tissue that enables bones to glide against each other. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage breaks down, leading to bone-on-bone friction, while in rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation occurs in the synovial membrane, which can damage both cartilage and bone. Over time, this can result in changes to the bone structure itself, such as bone spurs or erosion.
What else can I help you with?
Is arthritis the same as marginal osteophytes?
marginal osteophytes are a result and a part of arthritis. they are the build up of bone around the area in joints where the bone has started to touch bone in joints.
Does baclofen help bone on bone arthritis?
Baclofen is a muscle relaxant primarily used to treat spasticity and is not typically prescribed for arthritis, including bone-on-bone arthritis. While it may help alleviate muscle tension and spasms around the affected joints, it does not directly address the underlying joint degeneration or pain associated with arthritis. For managing bone-on-bone arthritis, treatments usually focus on pain relief, inflammation reduction, and improving joint function through medications, physical therapy, or surgical options. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice and treatment options.

Do you get arthritis when you break a bone?
Breaking a bone can increase your risk of developing arthritis in the affected area due to changes in joint mechanics and the potential for damage to cartilage during the injury. However, not everyone who breaks a bone will develop arthritis. It is best to follow up with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
What type of arthritis is degenerative and creates bone spurs?
Degenerative arthritis is another name for Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis will create bone spurs but then so will other forms of arthritis.
