Researchers at the Boston University of Medicine are sharing the results of a study that shows that knee replacements and reports of chronic knee pain in older Americans (over the age of 65) are becoming increasingly more common.
The study shows that since the 1980s the number of those undergoing knee surgeries has multiplied by about 10 times. Some possible explanations for the increase include a baby boomer population and a growing number of people with obesity which puts increased pressure on the knee joints.
Researchers also saw increased numbers of those suffering from arthritis and osteoporosis which can cause knee discomfort. While this may require, or at least need consideration of, a knee replacement, those who experience pain but do not have signs of arthritis and osteoporosis should reconsider getting a knee replacement.
Arthritis and knee joint pain can be extremely painful and cause patients to become extremely limited in the activities they can participate in. Many victims can become confined to walkers or wheelchairs as a result of knee issues.
If you are disabled because of chronic knee pain and can no longer work, you may be able to receive assistance from the Social Security Administration. A Social Security disability lawyer can walk you through the process of applying for benefits.
