What Causes Knee Pain?
Osteoarthritis happens when our knee tissues start to deteriorate over time as a result of use, old trauma, or overweight. Our knee starts to wear and tear as we age or some hereditary factors might be involved as well. As the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away, the bones under the cartilage start to rub each other, causing unbearable pain.
When their joint components break down movement becomes difficult or painful. Joints can swell, further limiting your range of motion. Osteoarthritis worsens over time.
