7. Morning Stiffness
Are your limbs feeling heavy and your joints feeling stiff when you get out of bed? This is morning stiffness, and it comes with a variety of joint and muscle issues, including OA. It may take several minutes to move your body enough to stand comfortably, and though it’s most pronounced as soon as you wake up from a long rest, any inactive posture (sitting in a chair, for example) can leave you with stiff and sore joints, especially in the hips, knees and spine.
Luckily, the stiffness should begin to dissipate with gentle muscle movement, and regular exercise will keep the problem at bay.
