Knee pain is a common complaint affecting people of all ages. This may be a result of an injury or due to medical conditions such as arthritis, gout, etc, and even infection. The knee joint is made up of bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and bursae. Injury or inflammation of one of these structures can lead to bone and joint issues in the knee. Knee pain can lead to joint damage and lead to low or no mobility if left untreated.
Knee pain can result from various causes, and it’s essential to identify the specific reason for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Conditions commonly linked to knee pain include:
Osteoarthritis (OA): Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of bones wears down over time. Causes: Aging, joint injury, obesity, and heredity.
Ligament Injuries: Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect bone to bone. Injuries can involve sprains or tears to these ligaments. Common Ligament Injuries are Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury, Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) often occurring during sports or traumatic incidents and Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) injury.
Pes Anserine Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa (fluid-filled sac) located on the inner side of the knee, below the joint.
Baker’s Cyst: A Baker’s cyst is a fluid-filled swelling that forms behind the knee.
Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disorder causing inflammation of the joints, including the knee.
