Is osteoarthritis a heriditary disease?
Yes, osteoarthritis is hereditary. Unfortunately, there is no cure at this time. You can't really prevent it, but staying in shape with exercise and maintaining a good body weight can help delay your symptoms. Also, just because certain members of your family has it does not mean you will get it. Glucosamine can help maintain cartilage strength, but you need to take a top brand such as OsteoBiflex or Cosamin DS. READ MORE
