  • Osteoarthritis is split into five phases! 0 is
    assigned to a normal, healthful knee. The highest
    point, 4, is delegated to severe OA.

3
To understand more about Osteoarthritis of the
Knee
  • Stage 0 OA is categorized as Normal knee health

4
  • Without outward signs of OA to treat, many
    physicians do not require patients to get any
    treatments for stage 1 OA.

5
  • Phase 2 OA of the knee is known as a Mild stage
    of the condition. X rays of knee joints in this
    period may uncover greater bone spur increase,
    but the cartilage probably remains in a healthful
    size - the space involving the bones is normal,
    as well as the bones are not rub or scraping one
    another

6
  • Stage 3 OA is categorized as Moderate OA.

7
  • The cartilage involving bones is showing obvious
    harm, and the space involving the bones is
    thinning.

8
  • Individuals with period 3 OA of the knee are
    probably experiencing frequent pain when walking,
    running, bending, or kneeling.

9
  • Joint swelling can be present after long periods
    of motion, too. Cortisone, a steroid produced
    normally by the body, continues to be proven to
    relieve pain due to OA when injected near the
    affected joint.
