π©Ί Knee pain in 30s isn't just aging, doc says
Knee pain in younger adults should not be dismissed as normal wear and tear, according to doctors. Dr Rajesh Verma explained that injuries, excess strain, or underlying diseases can cause issues in the 20s and 30s. A study found those with knee injuries aged 25 to 34 had six times the risk of later osteoarthritis. Persistent swelling and morning stiffness might signal inflammatory arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis, not just aging. Early identification via tests like MRI is crucial for proper treatment and joint health. π§
