Understanding Knee Arthritis
Knee arthritis occurs when the protective cartilage in your knee joint wears down over time, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling. It's one of the most common causes of chronic knee pain, especially after age 50.

Wear-and-tear arthritis. Most common type, typically after age 50.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Autoimmune condition affecting the joint lining. Can occur at any age.

Frequently Asked Questions
1Can knee arthritis be cured without surgery?
Mild to moderate arthritis can be well-managed with conservative treatment including physical therapy, medications, and injections. Surgery is reserved for severe cases.
2When should I consider knee replacement?
When pain significantly impacts daily activities, sleep, and quality of life despite conservative treatment, knee replacement should be considered.
3What is PRP injection for knee arthritis?
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) uses your own blood components to promote healing. It can provide relief for mild-moderate arthritis but has limited benefit in severe cases.
