Yulia (71 years old)

Yulia, aged 71, is a retired librarian who enjoys visiting museums.

Besides being overweight (BMI: 28), she has no notable medical history and does not smoke nor drinks alcohol.

Over the past 5 years, her motility has progressively decreased due to surging joint pain in her hips and knees. At first, she managed the pain by occasionally taking over-the-counter NSAIDs, but due to worsening of her condition with recent signs of inflammation in her knee (swelling and feeling of warmth), she now presents to your clinic.
