Knee arthritis

Knee pain is the most common reason for a visit to the Orthopaedic surgeon’s office. Arthritis is the inflammation of one or more of your joints. Pain, swelling, and stiffness are the primary symptoms of arthritis. Any joint in the body may be affected by the disease, but it is particularly common in the knee. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, but there are more than 100 different forms. While arthritis is mainly seen in adults, there are some forms, which can affect the children. Although there is no cure for arthritis, there are many treatment options available to help manage pain and keep people staying active.

Anatomy

The knee is the largest and strongest joint in your body. It has three bones: The lower end of the femur (thighbone), the upper end of the tibia (shinbone), and the patella (kneecap). The bones never come in contact with each other. This is due to the presence of a smooth slippery substance on the inside of each bone, which acts like a cushion. It is called cartilage. The inside of the joint is lined by a thin membrane called the synovial membrane. This membrane releases a fluid that lubricates the cartilage and reduces friction.

Description: Three major forms of arthritis are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and post-traumatic arthritis. The major types of arthritis that affect the knee are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and posttraumatic arthritis. Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in the knee. It is a degenerative,”wear-and-tear” type of arthritis that occurs most often in people 50 years of age and older, but may occur in younger people, too. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage in the knee joint gradually wears away. As the cartilage wears away, it becomes frayed and rough, and the protective space between the bones decreases. This can result in bone rubbing on bone, and hence cause pain.

Rheumatoid arthritis: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease. This means that the immune system starts destroying body’s own tissues. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that affects multiple joints throughout the body, including the knee joint. It frequently affects the same joint on both the sides of the body. In rheumatoid arthritis the synovial membrane that covers the knee joint begins to swell, This results in knee pain and stiffness. Post traumatic arthritis: This type of arthritis occurs few months- few years following an injury to the knee joint. For example, a broken bone may damage the joint surface and lead to arthritis years after the injury. Meniscal tears and ligament injuries can cause instability and additional wear on the knee joint, which over time can result in arthritis.

May is Arthritis awareness Month!! * I was born with arthritis, diagnosed at 18 months old. I faced so many challenges as a kid with arthritis. I wasn’t like the other kids. * Medication never really helped me until I became and adult. Choosing to take Humira changed a lot for me. I was able to move and function almost like a healthy person. It also helped me get back to work. * As a kid with arthritis I didn’t always have the support that I actually needed. Don’t get me wrong though, my mom did everything she thought was right for me but even she was misinformed and uneducated about arthritis. * I created this living with arthritis page spread awareness and education about this terrible disease. I do this because I wish I had someone like myself when I was a kid. I do this to give others hope. If I can help that one person who is struggling get through their day then I know I’m doing something right in this world. * I share my story and journey with all of you. I hope you have the courage and strength to share your story as well. * If you would like to share your story drop me a message or comment and I’ll feature story/journey on my page. * #arthritisawarenessmonth #arthritisawareness #arthritiswarrior #arthritis #rheumatoidarthritis #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior #rheumatoidarthritisawareness #rheumatoiddisease #rheumatoiddiseaseawareness #rheumatoiddiseasewarrior #chronicpain #chronicpainawareness #chronicpainwarrior #invisibleillness #invisibleillnessawareness #invisibleillnesswarrior #invisibledisease #invisiblediseaseawareness #invisiblediseasewarrior 💙💜 https://www.instagram.com/p/CdDo93RraDR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
