Joint Pain Is Not Just A Sign Of Old Age! — Orthopaedic Specialist Gives Strict Warnings

Is persistent joint pain an inevitable part of getting older, or could it be a warning sign of something more serious? On this episode of YourView, we speak with consultant orthopaedic specialist Dr. Opeyemi Oyewande about osteoarthritis, one of the most common joint conditions affecting people worldwide. The conversation explores the causes and warning signs of osteoarthritis, why the knees are commonly affected, and why younger people can also experience joint problems, particularly following injuries. The specialist also explains the relationship between menopause and joint health, and why women may face a higher risk as they get older. Can exercise help or worsen joint pain? Are painkillers and home remedies enough? And why is it important to seek proper medical assessment instead of assuming every ache is arthritis? Dr. Oyewande discusses treatment options, including modified physical activity, weight management, medication and joint replacement for advanced cases. He also highlights how conditions affecting the spine and nerves can mimic arthritis symptoms. Watch, learn and join the conversation as we explore how to recognize joint problems early and protect our mobility and quality of life. #YourView #Osteoarthritis #JointPain #KneePain #OrthopaedicSpecialist #JointHealth #ArthritisAwareness #TVC
