Treat both: It depend on how much each is contributing to your limited mobility. It is also important to locate where this limitation is. Is in the feet, the ankles, the knees, the hips or other. The good news is that we have ways to help both. You will need to be evaluated to identify where these impairments are and how much each diagnosis is contributing to your limited mobility.

Exercise: Moving joints helps blood flow there and reduce pain. Exercise and weight loss help slow damage and reduce pain in oa of weight bearing joints and prevents gout by reducing uric acid.
