  • Join pain and tenderness.

  • Stiff joints upon waking or when standing after sitting for awhile.

  • When the joint is used you may feel a grinding sensation.

  • Sometimes small, hard bumps may form around the joint from which the pain is emanating.

Terms Of The Study

This group also reported a noticeable reduction in knee pain.
