Osteoarthritis is managed with activity, weight control, physical therapy, and sometimes injections or surgery. Logging pain, function, and treatments shows what helps each joint.
Also known as: OA, degenerative joint disease, wear-and-tear arthritis.

- Joint pain
- Stiffness, worse after rest
- Reduced range of motion

What to track for Osteoarthritis
Good records turn a stack of paper into answers. For osteoarthritis, it helps to keep:
- Pain and function notes by joint
- Imaging reports
- Injection and therapy outcomes
- Medication use

Your records are encrypted at rest, and you control exactly who in the household can see them.
- One timeline for every osteoarthritis document, across clinics and years.
- Natural-language search: "what was prescribed last time?" returns the script and the outcome.
- Treatment-outcome tracking so the record shows what helped — not just what was tried.
