Mrs. N.H. (Patient ID-54782), a 61-year-old female, was a referral patient who consulted us online. She had complained of pain in her right knee joint for the past 10 years and stiffness in the joint. The pain occasionally radiated to the back of her leg. She experienced more pain during exertion and stiffness, mostly in the early morning. She had been using some Ayurvedic oil to get some relief.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that occurs when the cartilage, which cushions the ends of bones in the joints, breaks down over time. This leads to pain, swelling, stiffness, and decreased range of motion in the affected joints. OA is commonly found in the knees, hips, hands, and spine. The condition is more common in older adults but can also occur in younger people due to factors such as joint injuries or genetics.
