But when symptoms do appear, they can present as pain ranging from mild to severe, initially presenting as stiffness in the mornings lasting for more than 30 minutes. [belmarrahealth.com]

If all three of these findings are not present, another diagnosis should be considered. [radiopaedia.org]

Abstract The aim of the present study was to determine the association between abdominal muscle strength and quality of life among older adults with lumbar osteoarthritis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Prolonged Immobilization

  OA can result from a wide variety of conditions such as history of faulty posture, occupational tasks, prolonged immobilization, obesity, or repetitive mircotrauma.4, 7 Some evidence shows that there is a genetic component to osteoarthritis. [pivotalphysio.com]

• Back Pain

  Low back pain is responsive to therapies that are effective for osteoarthritis in other locations. Osteoarthritis of the lumbar spine does cause low back pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Low Back Pain

  The associations between self reported morning stiffness in conjunction with low back symptoms were stronger than self reported low back pain alone. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Spine Pain

  In the spine, OA can affect the facet joints, the intervertebral discs, and the ligaments supporting the spine. Symptoms Back pain is the typical symptom associated with OA of the spine. The pain is typically felt deep in the muscles. [uclahealth.org]

  When pain and stiffness occur gradually and chronically, osteoarthritis may be the cause. See How Arthritis Causes Back Pain Osteoarthritis of the spine is common with aging. [arthritis-health.com]

• Buttock Pain

  Similarly, if the low back is affected, the patient may experience buttock pain and sciatica (leg pain). Stiffness can occur after periods of inactivity or rest, such as waking up after a nap. [spineuniverse.com]

  Bending sideways or backward can also cause pain. Pain can be felt from the center of the low back and may expand to the pelvic area or the sides of the buttocks. Pain can also go into the thighs but rarely spreads to the knees. [medicalnewstoday.com]

• Paresthesia

  Paresthesias (abnormal sensations) may develop, such as numbness or tingling. As mentioned earlier, spondylosis is often associated with aging. [spineuniverse.com]

  In more severe cases, it may cause pressure on nerve roots with subsequent sensory and/or motor disturbances, such as pain, paresthesia, or muscle weakness in the limbs. [davidrobertsphysio.co.uk]

  This could lead to neck and/or low back pain, arm and leg pain, paresthesias (needles and pins), and muscle weakness. [njspinespecialists.net]

  If severe, it may cause pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots with subsequent sensory or motor disturbances, such as pain, paresthesia, imbalance, and muscle weakness in the limbs. [en.wikipedia.org]

The primary provider will be able to evaluate to see if further workup is needed. A diagnosis usually can be made based on specific symptoms, a thorough physical examination and x-ray results. [aans.org]

These findings suggest a different etiological process may exist between SOA and FOA and supports the potential for separate clinical phenotypes. [acrabstracts.org]

The etiology of spine osteoarthritis is likely secondary to its multifactorial pathogenesis. Its etiology includes genetic predisposition, epigenetics, dietary changes, sex, and ethnicity differences. [statpearls.com]

Reiter’s syndrome Reiter’s syndrome is a relatively uncommon arthropathy of uncertain etiology with the classic triad of urethritis, arthritis, and conjunctivitis. [rad.washington.edu]

Etiology (cause): OA is most often atraumatic in nature, which means there was no specific trauma which caused the condition. [pivotalphysio.com]
