Uma udokotela wakho ekholelwa ukuthi une-osteoarthritis, udokotela wakho angenza futhi ukuhlaziywa okuhlangene koketshezi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi une-osteoarthritis. Kokubili kuhilela ukuthatha uketshezi noma igazi emadolweni ngokuhlangana nenaliti. Lokhu kungadala ukungakhululeki okuncane.

Lapho nje ukutholakala kwe-osteoarthritis sekuqinisekisiwe, udokotela wakho angakunikeza imithi yezinhlungu, kufaka phakathi i-acetaminophen (Tylenol) noma izidakamizwa ezingezona ukuvuvukala (ama-NSAID) njenge-ibuprofen (Advil), ukugcina izinhlungu zilawulwa.

Udokotela wakho angaphinde akuthumele kumuntu osebenza ngokomzimba noma osebenzayo ukusiza ukuthuthukisa ukuguquguquka kwamadolo akho.
