What are the types of knee arthritis?
There are about 100 types of arthritis. The most common types that can affect your knees include.
Osteoarthritis is the most common type on this list.
Osteoarthritis destroys your cartilage. The cushion between the three bones of your knee joint. Without that protection, your bones rub against each other. This may cause pain, stiffness, and limited movement. This can also lead to the development of bone spurs. Osteoarthritis gets worse as time passes.
Gout is a type of osteoarthritis. The cartilage in your knee begins to thin after trauma (such as a car accident or injury from a contact sport). Your bones rub together, and this causes symptoms similar to osteoarthritis. Pain, stiffness, and limited movement.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease. A healthy immune system causes inflammation (internal or external) when it is trying to protect you from infection, injury, toxin, or any other foreign invader. The inflammatory response is one way your body protects itself. If you have rheumatoid arthritis, your immune system is unhealthy which causes inflammation in your joints. Even if there is no foreign invader. The inflammation causes pain, stiffness, and swelling in the synovial membrane, which can also destroy your cartilage.
