Did you know that the knee joint is the largest and most complex joint in the human body? No wonder it’s susceptible to wear and tear over time..

Knee pain can be caused by a variety of factors such as injuries, overuse, arthritis, or misalignment of the knee joint itself. The result is discomfort, stiffness, and limited mobility. Understanding the common culprits is essential to finding the right treatment approach.

Here are some of the most common causes of knee pain…

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects the knee's cartilage over time. As the cartilage wears down, the bones rub against each other, leading to arthritic pain, stiffness, and reduced joint flexibility. This condition is more prevalent in older adults, individuals with a family history of arthritis, and those who have experienced knee injuries in the past.

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS)

PFPS, commonly known as "runner's knee," is characterised by pain around the front of the knee, particularly behind or around the kneecap (patella). It often occurs due to overuse, improper tracking of the kneecap, weak thigh muscles, or poor biomechanics during physical activities.

Meniscus Tears

The menisci are C-shaped cartilage pads that act as shock absorbers between the thighbone (femur) and shinbone (tibia). Tears in the meniscus can happen due to sudden twisting movements or degenerative changes in older adults. This injury can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the knee.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries

ACL injuries are common in sports and physical activities that involve sudden stops, changes in direction, or jumping. This ligament connects the thigh bone to the shinbone and helps stabilise the knee joint. ACL tears or strains can lead to significant pain, instability, and difficulty bearing weight on the affected leg.

Iliotibial (IT) Band Syndrome

The IT band is a thick band of tissue that runs along the outside of the thigh, connecting the hip to the shinbone. Overuse or repetitive activities, such as running or cycling, can cause inflammation and tightness in the IT band, resulting in knee pain on the outer side of the knee.

Bursitis

Bursae are small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the knee joint and reduce friction. Inflammation of the bursae, known as bursitis, can occur due to repetitive knee movements or direct impact. This condition can cause localised pain, swelling, and tenderness.

Patellar Tendinitis

Also called "jumper's knee," patellar tendinitis is an overuse injury that affects the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shinbone. Activities that involve jumping or excessive stress on the knee can lead to inflammation and pain in the front of the knee.
