What Is Knee Pain?
|
| |
|
|
| |
| The knee joint is one of the most complex and largest joints in the body. It is susceptible to injury and wear and tear. Knee pain can be caused by various factors, including: |
| |
| 1. |
Injuries
Knee injuries are a common cause of knee pain, and they can range from mild to severe. Common injuries include ACL tears, meniscus tears, and fractures. |
|
| 2. |
Medical Conditions
Certain medical conditions, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout, can cause knee pain. |
|
| 3. |
Overuse
Overuse injuries, such as runner's knee or patellar tendinitis, are common in people who participate in high-impact sports or activities. |
|
| 4. |
Obesity
Excess weight puts extra pressure on the knee joint, which can lead to pain and inflammation. |
|
|
| The symptoms of knee pain can vary depending on the underlying cause. Some common symptoms include: |
| |
| 1. |
Pain and stiffness in the knee joint |
|
| 2. |
Swelling and inflammation |
|
| 3. |
Limited range of motion |
|
| 4. |
Weakness or instability in the knee joint |
|
| 5. |
Clicking or popping sounds when moving the knee |
|
| 6. |
Redness or warmth in the knee joint |
|
|
| |
| Running and exercising, when done correctly and with proper form, do not necessarily damage knees. In fact, regular exercise can strengthen the muscles supporting the knees and reduce the risk of knee pain and injury. |
