Inside your knee
Why your knee hurts, and where regeneration comes in
Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. The smooth cartilage that cushions your knee breaks down and wears away, so bone starts to rub on bone. The result: pain, swelling and loss of motion that usually builds slowly over years.
