Why am I experiencing knee pain?

Knee pain can arise from various causes, and identifying the specific reason is crucial for effective treatment. Here are some common causes of knee pain:

1. Injuries:

• Ligament Injuries: Such as ACL, MCL, PCL, or LCL tears, often occurring from sports or accidents.
• Meniscus Tears: Damage to the cartilage that cushions your knee joint.
• Patellar Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons connecting the kneecap to the shinbone, common in athletes.

1. Arthritis:

• Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease causing cartilage breakdown.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune condition leading to joint inflammation.
• Gout: A form of arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joint.

1. Mechanical Problems:

• Loose Body: Fragments of bone or cartilage floating in the joint space.
• Iliotibial Band Syndrome: Tightness and inflammation of the IT band, common in runners and cyclists.
• Dislocated Kneecap: The kneecap slides out of place, usually due to injury.

1. Overuse:

• Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, the small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the knee joint.
• Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons from repetitive activity.

1. Biomechanical Issues:

• Foot or Hip Problems: Issues in these areas can alter your gait and lead to knee pain.
• Poor Posture: Imbalances in your posture can put extra strain on your knees.

1. Medical Conditions:

• Infections: Bacterial infections can cause knee pain and swelling.
• Bone Conditions: Such as osteochondritis dissecans, where small segments of bone break loose from the joint.
