Understanding Knee Pain

Knee pain is a common complaint that can result from acute injuries, chronic overuse, or degenerative joint conditions. It may affect any of the structures in the knee — bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, or muscles. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial in preventing further damage and improving quality of life.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

• Osteoarthritis – Age-related wear and tear of cartilage
• Meniscus Tears – Cartilage damage due to twisting injuries
• Ligament Injuries – Including ACL and MCL sprains or tears
• Tendinitis & Bursitis – Inflammation from repetitive movements
• Patellar Tracking Disorders – Misalignment of the kneecap
• Overuse or Sports Injuries – Strain from physical activity
• Rheumatoid Arthritis – Autoimmune joint inflammation

Symptoms of Knee Pain

• Persistent or intermittent pain
• Swelling or stiffness
• Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds
• Reduced range of motion
• Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or kneeling
• Instability or “giving way” of the knee
