“…Thus, our findings indicate that patients with OA in a rural setting in India have their whole life affected by the disease. Similar perceptions have been described as parts of previous findings among people with OA in Northern-European settings, in terms of a "constant struggling through everyday life" inducing emotional distress (Nyvang, Hedstrom, and Gleissman, 2016;Wride and Bannigan, 2018). Like our participants, approaches among patients with OA in North America, Western Europe, and Australia are influenced by their symptoms, their understanding of the disease, their perceptions of other people's beliefs toward their disease and their functional capability (Smith et al, 2014a).…”

“…A previous systematic review of the experience of hip and knee osteoarthritis focussed on the functional impacts of osteoarthritis, as well as people’s lack of understanding and the stigma of their disease 16. One small previous review of nine studies focussed on the lived experience of knee pain, but did not limit this to osteoarthritis 17. While the assessment of the lived experience of a health condition should be disease-specific,47 the finding by Wride that ‘knee pain affects every aspect of life, redefining what people are able to do, who they do it with and how they do it’ complements our findings among people with knee osteoarthritis.…”

“…Rather than relying on the a priori assumptions of researchers or clinicians, qualitative research prioritises the voice of the ‘expert’ participant, thus shedding light on aspects of the lived experience that cannot be reached by quantitative approaches 15. Two recent systematic reviews have synthesised qualitative research related to knee pain, including people living with osteoarthritis 16 17. Wride17 explored the feelings and experiences of people living with knee pain from nine studies, three of which included people with non-osteoarthritic related knee pain.…”
