Common Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain can be caused by injuries, arthritis, and a range of other problems. Knee pain often results from aging, injury, or repeated stress on the knee. These can impact ligaments, tendons, bones, cartilage and muscles. Other common causes of knee pain include poor posture and lack of muscle flexibility or strength. Poor posture can create stress on your knee joints, even while walking. A lack of strength or flexibility can increase your risk of knee injuries. Previous injuries such as a knee sprain or strain can make you prone to reinjury. Torn cartilage, tendonitis, and bursitis can also cause chronic knee pain.
When to Call the Doctor for Knee Pain?
Not all knee pain is serious. But some knee injuries and conditions, such as osteoarthritis, can leave damaging results if left untreated.
Make an appointment with your doctor if your knee pain was caused by a particularly forceful impact or if it's accompanied by:
Significant swelling
Redness
Tenderness and warmth around the joint
Certain untreated conditions may result in increasing pain, joint damage, and even immobility in some cases.
Typically, knee pain will respond to self-care measures, such as rest, ice, compression, and elevation, as well as an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication. Physical therapy and knee braces are also able to provide some knee pain relief. If nothing seems to be working, you can’t bear weight on your knee, your knee is swelling, you can’t extend or flex your knee, or you’re having severe knee pain, don’t wait to contact a medical professional.
If your knee pain symptoms don’t dissipate after self-care measures, setting up an appointment with your doctor is highly advised. To avoid unwanted and unnecessary pain, as well as lasting damage, contact your doctor if you are experiencing any of the above.
How to Prevent Knee Pain
