Description
Degenerative joint disease can have many symptoms including acute joint pain, loss of mobility, tenderness, stiffness, inflammation, creaking and occasional joint locking. Treatment can be either conservative or it can include surgery. Patients need to know the signs and symptoms that tell them that everything is going well and when things are deteriorating.

Stoplight tools divide various signs and symptoms into green, yellow, and red management zones. Green indicates good control, yellow indicates caution and gives specific steps for action, and red indicates a medical crisis that requires calling 911.
