Arthritis is a condition where the joints become swollen, hot, and often painful. One joint that is commonly affected by arthritis is the knee, the largest joint in the body.
One form of arthritis is osteoarthritis (OA). With OA, the hard tissue that covers the ends of the bones in a joint begins to break down.
Even with medications, the knee pain caused by OA can greatly impact on daily life. However, exercise is another way that people with arthritis of the knee can reduce pain.
