Understanding Knee Bone Spurs

What are Knee Bone Spurs?

Knee bone spurs, or osteophytes if you’re feeling fancy, are those pesky little bony nubs that decide to pop up along the sides of the bones in your knee joint. Imagine your body’s little workers getting overzealous in a DIY project to patch things up, but instead they build extra bone. Now, while they think they’re helping, these tiny extensions can actually end up making your knee quite uncomfortable. It’s a bit of extra pressure in all the wrong places, pressing on tissues and nerves, causing discomfort and sometimes pain.
