Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osteoarthritis typically causes pain with weight-bearing and joint motion. The pain often worsens throughout the day as the joint is used more. Rest and lack of motion may actually provide some relief. Heat or cold applications may provide temporary relief, but the pain will likely return once the application is removed.
