Arthritis usually develops after years of use. It is common in the knees because the knees bear the weight of the body. Over time, the cartilage in the knee wears down and stops protecting the ends of bones in the joint.
Symptoms of knee arthritis include pain, swelling, and stiffness. YOu may have trouble getting up after sitting for long periods. Sometimes the knee might also feel like it locks or catches.
Nonoperative treatment for knee arthritis include injections, physical therapy, taking anti-inflammatories, activity modification, weight loss, bracing, or using a cane/walker. If these are not helpful, an orthopedic surgeon may recommend surgery such as total knee replacement (knee arthroplasty) to relieve pain and preserve mobility.

I broke my knee when i was a kid. An avulsion Fracture. Took about a year to get going again after the break and have had pain every now and then. Recently about 15 years later. My knee pops constantly. I have lots of knee pain every now and then. Almost sounds like its crunching when I bend it and unbend it and it tends to hurt a lot at night. Can older injuries like mine cause Arthritis? Or i guess make it occure sooner then it should. Mid 20's..

Sometimes old injuries can result in arthritis of the joints. We recommend getting an evaluation from an orthopedic surgeon to see what your options are to relieve your pain.

At times im walking straight but my knee is aactually going the other way. Like it's twisting. I have to be careful when I'm bending down when my knees are stiff from standing too long. I know if I go sit Indian style on the floor too fast, at times I get an excruciating sharp papain in that knee. Can be very painful. Is this the arthritis?

It is hard to say if it is related to knee arthritis. We recommend getting an evaluation and x-rays from an orthopedic surgeon to determine the cause.

Osteoarthritis is a gradual breakdown of cartilage in the joints caused by wear and overuse. It is common in the knee because it bears the weight of the body.

@@thecenteroregon so does being over weight wear out your knees faster than if your normal weight or does it depend on activity and use?

@thecenteroregon Жыл бұрын

@@mariankeller5852 The more weight we carry around, whether it is muscle or fat, the greater the load on our hips and knees. This is one reason why heavier people are more likely to require total hip and knee replacements than patients with normal BMIs, and why the risk increases as your BMI increases. Losing weight, or keeping your weight at a healthy level, can help improve hip and knee pain symptoms, as well as help prevent or delay a hip or knee replacement.

Can you make an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in knees? After you have an x-ray and the doctor examines your knees, he or she can discuss conservative and surgical treatment options that might help get you out of pain.
