If you’re an athlete, you could be at risk for osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that causes pain and stiffness in the hip, knee and thumb joints. The disease is commonly associated with these risk factors: old age, obesity, genetics and gender. Few people are aware that athletes are also at risk.
Studies show that athletes are also susceptible because of past injuries and chronic wear and tear on the joints. In fact, osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis among athletes.
OA develops when joint cartilage gets damaged and bones grind together during movement. If cartilage degeneration occurs after an injury, like a broken leg or torn ligament, it can lead to post-traumatic arthritis, which has been found to cause 10 to 15 percent of osteoarthritis cases.
According to Guillem Gonzalez-Lomas, MD and assistant professor of orthopedic surgery at NYU Langone Medical Center, most sports injuries occur in the knees, which then become prone to arthritis and chronic knee pain.
Whether you have osteoarthritis or not, there are several things you can do to prevent further degeneration to your joints, reduce inflammation, and eliminate knee pain.
