Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. In fact, in a report published in 2020 by Statistics Canada<\/a>, it is estimated that 13.6% of people in Canada live with osteoarthritis, which represents 3.9 million Canadians.

Osteoarthritis is caused by the breakdown of cartilage in the joints and the body’s decreased ability to regenerate it. Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found at the ends of the bones that make up a joint. Its function is to protect these joints from friction and pressure during joint movements. With aging, the body loses some of its ability to regenerate its tissues, including cartilage.<\/p>

When a joint is affected by osteoarthritis, the cartilage degrades, exposing the bone ends. In the case of osteoarthritis of the knee, this generally translates into pain, which can be mild, but which can also become unbearable and a hindrance in daily activities.<\/p>

Another frequent symptom is the swelling of the knee. This phenomenon is explained by joint damage, which causes irritation of the synovial membrane. The latter is responsible for the production of synovial fluid, which normally serves to lubricate the joint structures. However, in case of inflammation, the production of fluid increases, which leads to the swelling of the knee, which can be accompanied by significant discomfort.<\/p>

The pain and symptoms of knee osteoarthritis are usually triggered by movement, such as climbing stairs. As a result, pain is often worse at the end of the day. Often, rest helps relieve them.<\/p>

If you are suffering from knee pain, it is important to talk to your doctor so that he or she can evaluate your situation and make the right diagnosis. This way, you can be well guided in the solutions available to you to relieve your pain.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
