- The exact cause is unknown, but joint injury, age, family history, obesity and prior joint damage all raise the risk.
- Morning stiffness lasting under half an hour points to osteoarthritis, while prolonged morning stiffness suggests rheumatoid arthritis instead.
- More severe symptoms may need painkillers and a structured exercise plan with a physiotherapist.
