What are the symptoms of arthritis in knee?

Answer 1

I have this.Pain,stiffness,kneecap feels loose and moveable.Bone Spurs are probably there and you will hear grinding and popping of the cartilage when you go up and down stairs.Knee Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that means your cartilage is wearing out (wear and tear )on it's own.Some herbs help with this as does a magnetic knee brace from Therion (medical grade magnetic braces).Try OsteoBi-Flex,Turmeric,Blue Emu Spray (anagesic spray that contains emu oil) capsaizin (hot pepper rub on lotion that comes in a foam applicator-great stuff).I recommend that you use a cane on bad days with a knee brace and not on good days.Exercise helps prevent stiffness and loss of mobility.Take it one day a a time and hang in there.Remember you can have a good attitude and see this as having a minor inconvenience,not a disease that defines who you are.

Answer 2

Symptoms vary from person to person even though each person suffering from osteoarthritis has joint deterioration. It is usually thought of as a progressive disease, one that gets worse over time. Some people find the condition incapacitating while others have very few symptoms. Pain, the primary symptom of the disease, is commonly brought on through activity; however, it could be present even when the body is at rest. Examples of Osteoarthritis Symptoms include:

• Loss of movement
• Stiffness and swelling in the joints
• Snapping of the joints
• Bony growths at the joints and abnormal angulation

The general symptoms of Arthritis are pain and swelling. It is an inflammatory condition, which is what causes the swelling. If you have persistent pain in your knee and it begins to swell, you should ask your doctor if he thinks it is arthritis.
