Arthritis Knee Pain Or
Tendonitis?
Arthritis is the medical term associated with inflammation of
the joint or other rheumatic diseases that may cause pain,
stiffness and swelling in the joints. The knee, being a major
joint, is particularly prone to this disease. Arthritis is one of
the most common causes of knee pain - and Arthritis Knee Pain is a
very common complaint amongst those over 65 years of age. As with
all types of the disease, such as Back Pain Arthritis, it is always
important to accurately diagnose the cause of the symptoms so that
an appropriate Knee Arthritis Treatment is selected.
This brief case study explains the rationale for an appropriate
diagnosis: A 38 year old female presents with severe pain in both
knees when bending down. Given that the pain increase with flexion,
the diagnosis - to be confirmed by a radiologist after viewing the
x-ray is that it is arthritis. Other possibilities could be an
infection of the knee cap, chondromalacia patellae,
Osgood-Schlatter disease, or tendonitis.
A common question from those who suffer with Arthritis Knee Pain
is whether or not they should limit physical activities. Generally,
the greater the activity - be it walking, cycling, tennis - the
greater the knee pain. Sure, one can reduce the pain by limiting
all activity which serves to aggravate the knee. However, it has
well documented that a sedentary lifestyle will not "save the
joint". In fact, the opposite is true: inactivity usually results
in loss of muscle and bone strength, which in turn increases the
level of Arthritis Knee Pain.
One proven Knee Arthritis Treatment is kneeVitality. This
cutting edge procedure involves injecting the medication directly
into the knee joint. kneeVitality has proves to be safer, more
effective and longer lasting than other pain relievers. In
addition, there are virtually no side effects and the whole
procedure takes less than 10 minutes!
Using benefits of x-ray images for guidance, medical
professionals that have been specifically trained in the treatment,
can accurately position the medication in the knee joint to produce
the greatest reduction in Arthritis Knee Pain. This reduction pain
is due to an enhancement of the natural joint fluid necessary for
proper joint lubrication. It also promotes the growth of healthy
knee issue.
Other Knee Arthritis Treatments such as Weight loss, Gold
injections and methotrexate, Cortisone injection, and Knee braces
are also very effective and are discussed in another article.
