arthrose = osteoarthritis ?
by marc__0, Oct 31, 1998 12:00AM
Hello,
I already posted you a query about dizziness-problems and serious sleepdisorders.
The main problem for me is that in Western Europe we use different terms for certain disturbances and/or disorders.
I am suffering from arthrose in the cervical region. Now for us arthrose means disks being "worn out" whilst arthritis means "inflammation".
How can I exactly translate my arthrose problem for future questions ?
Should I use the name osteoarthritis ?
Many thanks.
P.S. I contact you from Belgium

The equivalent term would be " degenerative disc disease " DJD
