Knee Osteoarthritis in brief and its causes The
knee joint is protected by cartilage that
cushions the ends of bones. The cartilage works
as an anti-friction agent. It allows smooth
movement of the joint. Over time, this cartilage
begins to wear off. This condition leads to
arthritis, in this case, known as
osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most
common type of arthritis which commonly occurs in
the knees, hands, spine and hips. Apart from
deteriorating the cartilage, osteoarthritis also
leads to the breakdown of the tendon between the
joint that attaches the bone to the muscle. The
connective tissue around the joint is also
damaged. It is followed by deadly pain,
inflammation and swelling. But in severe cases
of osteoarthritis of the knee, a knee transplant
may be the only cure, which is done by the
process of knee replacement surgery.

• Symptoms of knee osteoarthritis
• People often take the disease lightly but it
  keeps worsening over time. Given below are the
  major symptoms of osteoarthritis in the knee
  joint
• The first symptom includes terrible pain in the
  entire knee area. The movement becomes restricted
  as the pain increases on even the slightest
  movement.
• Huge swelling is seen both in the knee area and
  the area nearby. This leads to tenderness of the
  joint.
• Joints that are meant for causing flexibility
  badly fail at their task. Complete loss of
  flexibility.

Treatment of knee osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis
of the knee is treated with medication along with
physical exercise. If the patient is obese, he is
advised to lose weight. Exercise should be a
mandatory part of daily routine. Physical
exercise results in higher metabolism that not
only reduces fat but also strengthens the joints
and macules. Simple exercises like stretching or
simple yoga poses can greatly enhance joint
movement. But excessive exercise might also
result in increasing the pain, which is prevented
by anti-inflammatory pills and painkillers.

  different directions for performing daily tasks
  becomes easier.
