A member asked:

What kind of pain do you get when you have osteoarthritis in the knee?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Non-specific pain: The pain is not specific to osteoarthritis, but may involve pain on flexion and extension, and a "catch" in certain positions. The pain is not usually "sharp" and stabbing, but more chronic without peaks and valleys.
