• Pain - Whether it’s a sharp aching or maybe a burning sensation, the pain can range from irritating to debilitati­ng.

• Swelling - This can cause tenderness and soreness to the entire knee area, making walking or going up and down stairs painful, getting in and out of bed or bathtubs difficult and dangerous, just to name a few activities affected by swelling. • Stiffness - Getting up out of bed or after sitting for a period of time gets more and more difficult. This loss of mobility can be more than a hindrance. It can be dangerous if you need to move quickly. • Loss of muscle strength - This can lead to balance issues and the strong possibilit­y of falling. • Joint deformity - Not just unsightly, but painful as well. • Creaking Joints - Can be painful and a sign of more discomfort to come.

• Sleepless nights - Losing sleep over your suffering is not just irritating, but potentiall­y dangerous because of so many other health concerns that can be affected by loss of sound sleep.
