What is Knee Pain and Arthritis?
Knee pain is most commonly caused due to arthritis. It is a degenerative condition which is caused by the gradual wear and tear of your knee joint that results in exposing the bone lying underneath. Knee pain caused by arthritis can lead to bony spurs around and inside the knee joint as a response to the change in biomechanics and load distribution.
Knee pain and arthritis can be caused by a number of factors:
- Age
- Weight
- Previous knee injury
- Genetics
- Sports or job that repeatedly put a load on the knee joint
The common symptoms of knee pain and arthritis include
- Pain in the knee which might be aggravated during walking, kneeling, climbing stairs, squatting and other weight-bearing activities
- Knee swelling
- Knee stiffness
- Grating or clicking
- Warmth near the knee
- Decreasing strength of limb muscles
