Whether the degenerative joint of the right knee needs treatment or not needs to be analyzed according to the clinical symptoms produced. If there are no obvious discomfort symptoms and no impact on life, it can be left untreated for the time being, but attention should be paid to the maintenance; when there are obvious pain symptoms, it needs to be actively treated.
If you often bear weight and exertion or strenuous exercise, you are prone to degenerative changes of the knee joint, such as osteophytes, as you grow older.
If the degeneration of the right knee is not particularly serious, does not cause knee pain, swelling or limited movement, and does not affect daily life and work, you can not treat it. However, you should pay attention to weight control, reduce the load on the knee joint, and do not engage in strenuous exercise or overwork, or it will easily lead to aggravation of the condition.
If the degenerative changes of the right knee joint have already produced obvious pain or joint movement limitation and other symptoms, active treatment is needed. For example, chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine sulfate tablets can be taken to alleviate the symptoms. If the knee joint is obviously limited in movement, affecting daily life, knee replacement surgery may be needed.
For patients with degenerative changes in the right knee joint, whether treatment is needed and the specific treatment plan need to be carried out under the guidance of a professional physician, and cannot be operated blindly by oneself.
