Osteoarthritis commonly affects small joints such as fingers and toes, and is one of the most common problems that a doctor sees every day in his/her clinic. It can lead to stiffness, pain, and notice deformities on the fingers and toes. The impact is even more severe in the weight bearing joints particularly the knees and hips. Many above fifty years of age do complain of knee pain.

The symptoms of pain may be mild and only on extreme activities but it can also be so severe that pain is experienced even at rest. The pain may affect your quality of life in which many activities of daily living such as standing and walking, even climbing stairs, kneeling, squatting, sitting are also affected. Individuals with these symptoms are likely suffering from knee osteoarthritis and may require an X-ray for diagnosis and to assess severity. Treatment options may include medication to reduce inflammation and damage, as well as injections of steroids or hyaluronic acid to alleviate pain and discomfort.
