Understanding Knee Pain and Osteoarthritis

Knee Pain

Knee pain can result from a variety of factors, including injuries, overuse, or chronic conditions. Common causes of knee pain include:

• Ligament injuries: ACL, MCL, etc.
• Meniscus tears: Damage to the cartilage in the knee joint.
• Patellar tendonitis: Commonly known as jumper’s knee.
• Bursitis: Inflammation of the joint lining.

Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition that develops when the cartilage in the knee wears down over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and inflammation. This condition is common in older adults but can also result from previous injuries or repetitive stress on the joint.

Symptoms of Knee Pain and Osteoarthritiss

• Persistent or sharp pain: Especially in the knee joint.
• Swelling and stiffness: Causing reduced mobility.
• Popping, clicking, or grinding sensations: During movement.
• Limited range of motion: Making daily activities difficult.
• Difficulty standing, walking, or climbing stairs: Due to joint pain.
