Why Do My Knees Ache?

Many Americans have asked themselves: "Why do my knees ache?" If you've ever wondered what was making you so uncomfortable, ask yourself these questions:

• Is there steady or intermittent pain?

• Is there stiffness after getting out of bed? Sitting for a long time?

• Is there swelling or tenderness in the knee?

• Is there a crunching feeling when I move my knee?

According to the National Institutes of Health, these are warning signs of osteoarthritis and the knee is among the most commonly affected joints. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, talk to your doctor to see if you have knee osteoarthritis.

You might also want to ask your doctor about one of the newest treatments for the pain of knee osteoarthritis-EUFLEXXA™ (1% Sodium Hyaluronate).

EUFLEXXA™ is the first and only three-injection treatment for knee osteoarthritis pain that is not derived from a bird source, such as chicken or rooster combs, and is free of avian proteins.
