Then there is a good chance that you have osteoarthritis in your knee. Gonarthrosis is wear and tear in the knees. The quality of the cartilage in the knee decreases. This reduces the stability of the knee joint. These complaints often arise at a higher age. Pain as a result of wear and tear in the knee is unfortunately always present, sometimes both at rest and when moving.
The exact cause is unknown. There are several possible causes for osteoarthritis in the knee. You can think of: heavy physical work, joint damage due to trauma, obesity. A combination of this with an unbalanced load in the knee due to an abnormal foot position is not inconceivable.
