• Joint Swelling

  Symptoms include gradually developing pain aggravated or triggered by activity, stiffness lasting 30 min on awakening and after inactivity, and occasional joint swelling. Diagnosis is confirmed by x-rays. [msdmanuals.com]

  These extra bits of bone, which feel like hard lumps, can form around the affected joint. Swelling. This might be caused by soft tissue inflammation around the joint. [mayoclinic.org]

  This can cause pain and stiffness in the joints, swelling, muscle weakness, and a reduced range of motion in the affected joints. Osteoarthritis can occur in any joint, but is most often found in the hands, hips, knees, or spine. [disabilitysecrets.com]

• Joint Space Narrowing

  Moderate-to-severe KL scores of 3 or higher were found in 425 joints, indicating the presence of multiple osteophytes, joint space narrowing, sclerosis, and possible bone deformities. [medpagetoday.com]
