Best knee osteoarthritis Treatment in Bangalore – Praxis Ortho Care
In this podcast, Dr. Sushal Shanthakumar, Best Orthopedic Surgeon in Bangalore are going to discuss about “Living with knee osteoarthritis” 
Knee Osteoarthritis can make moving, gripping, and activities of daily living a challenge. While there are more than 100 different types of arthritis and related conditions, osteoarthritis and gout are considered two of the worst kinds. That’s because osteoarthritis, in itself, has four different stages of the condition — zero to four. So, what can someone with osteoarthritis do to relieve their symptoms, and what can you do to make living with osteoarthritis easier?

4 Stages of Osteoarthritis

There are four stages of osteoarthritis, and each stage is treated differently. The stages include:
Stage 1: Minor bone spurs that can cause some discomfort and pain. Your doctor may suggest taking supplements and exercising if you have a history of increased risk.
Stage 2: Mild pain with greater bone spurs and symptoms — including pain after walking or running, stiffness in the joints, and tenderness when kneeling or bending. A doctor can now properly diagnose osteoarthritis based on your symptoms and may suggest you lose weight through diet and exercise and use braces for bending, squatting, or jumping.
Stage 3: Moderate pain where the cartilage between bones begins showing damage and pain when walking, running, bending, or kneeling is frequent. Your doctor may start suggesting different drugs or shots — including cortisone — and prescribe pain management medicine
Stage 4: Severe pain and discomfort when walking and moving the joint and almost no cartilage between joints — causing joints to stiffen and prevent movement. Your doctor may suggest bone realignment surgery, which includes cutting the bone above or below the knee to shorten, lengthen, or change its alignment. Other options may include total knee replacement surgery.
