Can diabetes or thyroid or endo problems cause osteoarthritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Osteoarthritis is the wears and tears of the body. Anything that will put extra stress on the joints/bone/body can cause osteoarthritis, for example, weight gain with diabetes, thyroid or endocrine problems.
