Increased rates of osteoarthritis
 

I thought this was interesting.

It seems that knee osteoarthritis is much more complex than it was thought.

Knee arthritis in Americans has doubled since 194 | Science | AAAS

Very interesting info because in may my left knee buckled and gave way, both knee and feet swelled, i went and saw the doctor and it was sprained and also thinks i have RA besides Osteoarthris another thing from birth:rolleyes:

Then to top the lot with pressuring my right leg that one buckled the same and i was layed up for over a month and still now each day i have to spray them with cold freeze.

Rheumo's had both knee and hips x-rayed but waiting for an appointment.

I wonder why rates have increased in the knees. The type of exercises people are doing or lack of exercise? Anybody have any thoughts?
