Expert diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment in Dallas, Texas.
Knee osteoarthritis happens when the smooth cushion on the ends of the bones in your knee gradually wears away. The bones start rubbing together, making the knee painful, stiff, and swollen.
Symptoms may vary depending on the location and severity of the condition:
Intermittent fluid buildup after walking.
Crepitus or crunching when bending the knee.
Stiffness that improves after 30 minutes of activity.
Pain going up or down stairs or after prolonged sitting.
