Arthritis Pain in Knee
Arthritis pain in knees is one of the most common
knee problems.
Indeed, arthritis is the leading cause of
disability in the US, and affects millions of
people worldwide.
Arthritis simply means "inflammation of the
joint" and is characterised by degenerative
changes in the bones and cartilage in the knee
joint.  
Knee arthritis may affect the knee joint between
the thigh and shin bones, or the patellofemoral
joint between the kneecap and the front of the
knee. In some cases, knee arthritis will affect
both joints.
Here we will start by looking at what is actually
going on in the knee with arthritis and the
different types.  Then as you continue through
the arthritis pain in knee section you will find
lots of information such as the causes, symptoms,
stages and treatment options including exercises,
injections, braces and natural remedies.

What is Knee Arthritis?
There are two different types of knee arthritis
caused by either wear and tear or inflammation.
The knee joint is made up of three bones, the
femur (thigh), tibia (shin) and patella (kneecap)
which form 2 separate joints

The ends of the knee bones are covered by thick
layers of cartilage. 
Cartilage is a thick, spongy material that lines
the joint providing lubrication and cushioning,
which allows the knee to move smoothly and
painlessly. It also works as a shock absorber and
ensures that the forces going through the knee
during daily activities are spread evenly
throughout the joint.

Arthritis pain in knees develops when the
cartilage thins and wears away and bony bumps
known as spurs develop. This results in
bone-on-bone contact which causes knee arthritis
pain, stiffness and inflammation.
