Since three months. left knee pains while climbing stairs. my doc says the gap between the bones has decreased. why does this happen and what next?

Osteoarthritis: That means the joint space is narrowed secondary to cartilage loss from osteoarthritis. See a rheumatologist or orthopedist for this issue.
