Footballer Bhaichung Bhutia has joined the pharmaceutical company Sanofi’s ‘Steps that Count’ initiative to raise awareness on knee osteoarthritis.

The initiative encourages patients to live well with osteoarthritis by following three steps of talking about the condition, reducing weight and regular exercise. Bhutia said knee osteoarthritis is very painful and affects things people take for granted such as walking and climbing stairs.

But timely medical intervention and regular exercise would to a large extent reduce the pain and discomfort.
