Osteoarthritis – Symptoms, Treatments & Causes

Abrasive Sensations

Osteoarthritis might lead to an abrasive sensation in the joints. This means that you can hear some distinctive sounds while moving around or using your knees or feet. The noises can be described as grinding or scraping. At the same time, there might be an unnerving feeling of friction in those affected areas. This indicates that the cartilage that connects your bones are broken down gradually, thus causing these parts to rub against each other when you move and do physical activities. [3]
