The Diagnosis: It’s Knee Osteoarthritis (OA). Basically, it is progressive wearing out of the cartilage and subsequent changes of the bone in the joint.

Sign 1: Narrow Joint Space: The smooth cartilage (your knee's natural cushion) is worn out. This is the main source of your joint pain. 😩

Sign 2: Bone Spurs (Osteophytes): The X-ray shows extra bony growths (osteophytes), which are your body's attempt to stabilize the joint. It can cause irritation of the surrounding soft tissues (joint capsule and ligaments). This causes classic knee stiffness. 🦴

Sign 3: Sclerosis: The bone right under the joint looks denser and whiter due to increased mechanical stress from the missing cushion. It's the bone signaling distress! 🚨

The Goal: We need a Game Plan! Treatment depends on the stage of the condition. Mild Osteoarthritis is aimed at Non-Surgical Management (like pain medications, Physical Therapy, or injections) to relieve pain and maximize Mobility! 💊💪 🏋️💉
Severe types may need surgery (Total Knee Replacement) and post-operative rehab in order to get back to that morning stroll or long walks during travel with your family without any joint pain. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒🧳✈️

We can not add years to life, but we can add life to years.

You are always welcome to send us a message or visit one of Dr. Bernardo’s clinics for proper evaluation and for more information.

💡MYTH-BUSTING MONDAY💡

MYTH: Cracking your knuckles causes arthritis.

FACT: The sound you hear is the bursting of tiny gas bubbles in the fluid that lubricates your joints. While it's a common habit, it's not directly linked to arthritis. Authors of several clinical studies found that there is NO correlation between cracking your finger joints and the development of osteoarthritis.

If you would like to learn more about osteoarthritis, please send us a message, and Dr. Bernardo will be happy to respond to your queries.
