Persistent pain, swelling, and stiffness that do not respond to medications or injections are common indicators. Patients may have difficulty standing, walking long distances, or climbing stairs. Deformities such as bowing or knock-knee alignment may also develop.
What causes these symptoms?
The most common cause is osteoarthritis, where cartilage wears away over time. Other causes include rheumatoid arthritis, previous fractures, or cartilage loss from injury.
