Understanding Knee Arthritis (Osteoarthritis)
Knee arthritis occurs when the protective cartilage in the knee joint gradually wears down. As cartilage thins:
- Bones rub against each other
- Inflammation develops
- Joint space reduces
- Pain and stiffness increase
Common Symptoms
- Pain while walking or standing
- Difficulty climbing stairs
- Stiffness after rest
- Swelling
- Grinding sound (crepitus)
- Reduced walking distance
If treated early, progression can be slowed significantly.
Why Many Patients Want to Avoid Knee Replacement
While knee replacement is helpful in advanced cases, it is:
- A major surgery
- Requires hospitalization
- Needs months of recovery
- Has implant lifespan limitations
- May have complications
Patients with diabetes, heart disease, obesity, or elderly patients often prefer non-surgical knee pain treatment options in Ghaziabad and Noida.
