Osteoarthritis and Nerve Pain Connection:

• Osteoarthritis primarily affects joints by causing cartilage breakdown.
• This can lead to inflammation or structural changes that irritate nearby nerves.

Spinal Osteoarthritis:

• In the spine, osteoarthritis can cause bone spurs or disc degeneration.
• These changes may compress spinal nerves, resulting in nerve pain.

Symptoms of Nerve Pain:

• Nerve pain from osteoarthritis may present as burning, tingling, or shooting sensations.

Recommendation:

• Discuss any nerve-like pain with your doctor for proper evaluation and management.
