Knee Pain Symptoms

Overview

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 and even infection. The knee joint is made up of bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and bursae. Injury or inflammation to one of these structures can lead to bone and joint issues in the knee pain. Knee pain can lead to joint damage and disability if left untreated.

Symptoms of knee pain:

Swelling and stiffness
Redness and warmth to the touch
Weakness or instability
Popping or crunching noises
Inability to fully straighten the knee
An obvious deformity in your leg or knee
Fever, in addition to redness, pain and swelling in the knee

Causes of knee pain

Knee pain often develops without a cause that shows up in a test or imaging study. Conditions commonly linked to knee pain include:
1. ACL injury- An ACL injury is a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) — one of four ligaments that connect your shinbone to your thighbone. An ACL injury is particularly common in people who play sports.

2. Fractures- The bones of the knee, including the kneecap (patella), can be broken during falls or accidents. Also, people whose bones have been weakened by osteoporosis can sometimes sustain a knee fracture.

3. Knee bursitis- Some knee injuries cause inflammation in the bursae, the small sacs of fluid that cushion the outside of knee joint so that tendons and ligaments glide smoothly over the joint.

4. Patellar tendinitis- Tendinitis causes irritation and inflammation of one or more tendons.

5. Loose body- Sometimes injury or degeneration of bone or cartilage can cause a piece of bone or cartilage to break off and float in the joint space.
