There are many persons suffering the painful symptoms of Osteoarthritis (OS), which is a joint disease. In the United States alone there are 20.7 million who live with pain and stiffness everyday. Inflammation from the disease causes damage to the ability of the joint to lubricate and it also causes damage to the cartilage found in joints.

Early in the disease the person may hardly notice the symptoms, as they may be very mild. The symptoms will range from a slight pain upon exertion and repeated motion of the joints to feeling just a little stiff in the morning. When the stiffness quickly subsides the symptoms are soon forgot.
