Osteoarthritis-
If your knee has been hurting you for a long time, you are not alone. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. Osteoarthritis affects approximately 27 million Americans each year. It is typically found in middle to late age adults and typically occurs gradually as the protective tissue (otherwise known as cartilage) starts wearing down. When this occurs, it will send you signals through pain and swelling of the joint. Unfortunately, osteoarthritis cannot be cured. Here’s the good news! There are many solutions that can help get you back to normal living. If you are in early stages of osteoarthritis most likely your physician will start out with a knee injection. If these don’t work, they could suggest getting a total knee replacement or arthroplasty. The goal of getting a total knee replacement is to resurface the knee joint by removing parts of the knee that are damaged and replace them with metal and plastic components.
