Q: Why do I experience stiffness in my knees after sitting?
A: Lack of movement tends to reduce the functionality of the joints. The synovial fluid within the knee joint becomes stagnated and to some extent loses its lubricating property. For this reason, the knees may become stiff after sitting for a long time.
Q: Why are my joints stiffer in the morning?
A: You might be suffering from arthritis, as a result of which there will be less cartilage and synovial fluid in the joints, meaning lesser lubrication at the joint surfaces. Coupled with this is the fact that you’re spending a long time without movement during the night. As a result, the joints become stiffer when you wake up in the morning.
