stiffness

Every moment of stiffness or joint pain felt like it could be a race-ending injury.

As dopamine-producing brain cells die, movement becomes affected, resulting in tremors, muscle stiffness, slowed movement and impaired balance.

A more severe and concerning case can cause neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness, or paralysis.

While existing drugs can ease symptoms such as tremors and stiffness, none can halt or slow the disease's progression.

Osteoarthritis develops when the cartilage cushioning the ends of bones wears down, leading to swelling, stiffness, and discomfort.
