Understanding Knee Pain
The knee is the largest and most complex joint in the body, bearing your full body weight with every step. Knee pain can originate from any of the knee structures — bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, or bursae. The severity ranges from mild discomfort that resolves with rest to debilitating pain that limits all daily activities. Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment.
Common Causes of Knee Pain
- •Osteoarthritis — gradual wear and breakdown of cartilage, most common in adults over 50
- •Rheumatoid arthritis — autoimmune inflammation attacking the joint lining
- •Ligament injuries — ACL, PCL, MCL or LCL tears from sports or accidents
- •Meniscus tears — damage to the shock-absorbing cartilage pads
- •Patellar tendinitis — inflammation of the tendon connecting kneecap to shinbone
- •Bursitis — swelling of fluid-filled sacs cushioning the joint
- •Gout and pseudogout — crystal deposits causing sudden severe inflammation
- •Bone-on-bone contact due to severe cartilage loss
- •Post-traumatic arthritis following knee fractures or dislocations
- •Obesity — excess weight dramatically increases joint stress

- ⚠Stiffness, especially in the morning or after sitting
