Joint Pain
Joint pain is a very common problem with many possible causes - but it's usually a result of injury or arthritis. Of all the joints, the knee joint is probably the most frequently damaged and the most susceptible to pain. In older people, joint pain that gets steadily worse is usually a sign of osteoarthritis, which is the most common type of arthritis in India. It may affect just one joint, or many. Osteoarthritis causes pain and stiffness because it damages the protective surface of the bones and cause mild swelling of the tissues in and around the joint. It can sometimes affect younger people, especially those who are overweight or those who have had serious injuries to the joint in the past.
