Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis that develops in large weight-bearing joints of the body, such as the knees. Knee osteoarthritis can cause your joints to feel stiff when you haven't moved them in awhile or cause mild pain and stiffness during activities like walking, bending, or stooping. There are a number of things you may be able to do to help prevent osteoarthritis of the knee, including maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and preventing joint injuries.
