What You Need to Know About Knee Pain
Understanding Knee Pain
The knee is a complex joint that works closely with the hips, ankles and surrounding muscles.
Pain can arise from a range of structures including muscles, tendons, ligaments or joint surfaces. In many cases, knee pain is influenced by how the body moves as a whole, rather than a single isolated issue.
Common symptoms include:
- Pain when walking, running or climbing stairs
- Discomfort when bending or straightening the knee
- Stiffness after periods of rest
- Swelling around the joint
- Weakness or reduced stability
Common Causes of Knee Pain
There are several conditions that can contribute to knee pain.
These may include:
- Osteoarthritis
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome
- Iliotibial band irritation
- Patellar tendinopathy, often referred to as jumper’s knee
- Ligament or soft tissue strain
These conditions may develop through overuse, changes in activity levels or altered movement patterns.
