It is most common in the joints of the fingers, hips, spine, and especially the knees. Its main symptoms are severe pain when moving the joints, swelling, and a &#8216;crackling&#8217; sound (Crepitus) when the bones collide. Here are the 5 main scientific reasons behind bone wear and tear:<\/p>\n<p>Cartilage Degeneration: In the joints where two bones meet in our body, there is a soft, rubber-like layer to protect them. This is called cartilage. It also contains synovial fluid, or a type of grease, which helps the joints move smoothly. As we age, this fluid dries up and the cartilage layer wears away. With this, the bones start rubbing against each other directly, which is the main reason for wear and tear.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d0e\u0d32\u0d4d\u0d32\u0d41\u0d15\u0d7e\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d4d \u0d24\u0d47\u0d2f\u0d4d\u200c\u0d2e\u0d3e\u0d28\u0d02 \u0d2e\u0d3e\u0d31\u0d3e\u0d7b | \u0d38\u0d28\u0d4d\u0d27\u0d3f\u0d35\u0d47\u0d26\u0d28 \u0d07\u0d32\u0d4d\u0d32\u0d3e\u0d24\u0d3e\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d3e\u0d7b \u0d26\u0d3f\u0d35\u0d38\u0d35\u0d41\u0d02 \u0d07\u0d24\u0d4d \u0d15\u0d34\u0d3f\u0d1a\u0d4d\u0d1a\u0d3e\u0d7d \u0d2e\u0d24\u0d3f!

The knees and hip joints bear the entire weight of our body. When we gain weight, unbearable mechanical stress is created on the cartilage in these joints. This quickly destroys the cells and increases the speed of bone wear and tear.<\/p>\n<p>Vitamin D3 and Calcium Deficiencies: Calcium and vitamin D3 are essential nutrients to maintain strong bone structure. When their levels decrease in the diet, bone density is lost and they quickly break down, leading to a condition called osteoporosis. Weak bones double the risk of wear and tear on the joints.<\/p>\n<p>Old injuries and repetitive strain on joints: If injuries to the ligaments or cartilage in the joints while playing sports or falling from a car are not treated properly, it can later lead to severe wear and tear (Post-traumatic Osteoarthritis). Along with this, repetitive work such as bending over and lifting heavy weights at work can cause rapid wear and tear on those joints.<\/p>\n<p>Genetic factors and inheritance: Heredity plays a big role in the occurrence of bone wear and tear. If parents or close relatives have suffered severe bone wear and tear at a young age, the next generation is more likely to suffer from it. The scientific reason behind this is some genetic variations in the genes that make cartilage in the body (for example, the COL11A1 gene). In women, the decrease in the hormone estrogen after menopause can quickly reduce the strength of the bones.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d0e\u0d32\u0d4d\u0d32\u0d41\u0d15\u0d7e\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d4d \u0d24\u0d47\u0d2f\u0d4d\u200c\u0d2e\u0d3e\u0d28\u0d02 \u0d2e\u0d3e\u0d31\u0d3e\u0d7b | \u0d38\u0d28\u0d4d\u0d27\u0d3f\u0d35\u0d47\u0d26\u0d28 \u0d07\u0d32\u0d4d\u0d32\u0d3e\u0d24\u0d3e\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d3e\u0d7b \u0d26\u0d3f\u0d35\u0d38\u0d35\u0d41\u0d02 \u0d07\u0d24\u0d4d \u0d15\u0d34\u0d3f\u0d1a\u0d4d\u0d1a\u0d3e\u0d7d \u0d2e\u0d24\u0d3f!
