Obesity means your joints must bear added weight, something that wears them down quicker. Older people are most susceptible to osteoarthritis as it is often a result of natural wear and tear. Those suffering from knee osteoarthritis will often experience the following symptoms:

  • Join pain and tenderness.

  • Stiff joints upon waking or when standing after sitting for awhile.

  • When the joint is used you may feel a grinding sensation.

  • Sometimes small, hard bumps may form around the joint from which the pain is emanating.
