Are Your Knees Hurting Due to Worn Out Cartilage?

When cartilage in your knee joint breaks down, causing the bones to rub together, it can cause much pain and swelling in your knee, leading to stiffness. The knee, which takes a lot of stress over your lifetime, is one of the most common joints affected. Your knee might hurt when you put pressure on it, when you move it or even when you’re sitting still. Other symptoms include: Your knees feel stiff, especially after you first get up or you’ve been sitting for a long time. Your knee becomes swollen or feels puffy. You may hear a cracking or grinding noise when you move your knee. Your knee may feel wobbly, as if it could buckle or “give out.” Your knee may lock up or feel like it’s stuck when you try to move it. This happens when the cartilage in your knee joint wears down. Cartilage covers the ends of your bones where they meet in your knee joint. It provides padding that allows the bones to move smoothly against each other. It also absorbs shock when you put weight on your knee. When cartilage breaks down, you start to lose mobility in your joint. It is usually the result of gradual wear and tear on your joint over time. The cartilage in your knees is like your car’s shock absorber, protecting your car from bumps and jolts. If you drive on rough roads, your shocks wear out faster. If you drive on smooth roads, your shocks last longer. Knee joint cartilage can be injured in various ways, including sports injuries, trauma (such as a fall or car accident), and osteoarthritis (a degenerative joint disease). Loss of cartilage within the knee joint can result in complications affecting the integrity of the knee joint surface due to increased pressure demands, which can lead to the development of bone spurs. Bone spurs are outgrowths of bone that develop within joints due to increased pressure between bones from lack of cartilage. Bone spurs are common in the knee since it is a major weight-bearing joint that withstands high-pressure demands. Without adequate cartilage, the bones of the knee become irritated and inflamed due to increased pressure and friction with movement and weight-bearing of the leg. Bone cells react to this increased pressure by producing more bone growth in an attempt to provide more protection to the joint, forming bone spurs.
