What Are Common Causes of Knee Pain?

There are a number of reasons why a person might experience knee pain. Discovering the cause often guides the treatment so the patient is given the greatest in relief and best quality of life.

  • Tendinitis: damage to the knee's tendons
  • Locked or frozen knee: occurs when the joint can no longer be moved
  • Dislocated knee: when the knee joint has a break
  • Sprains and strains: common injuries that are caused by overusing the knee
  • Knee bursae: The fluid in the knee is called bursae. It helps reduce movement friction. If it is damaged, knee pain can result.

Arthritis or Injury: How to Tell the Difference?

Without a thorough exam, it is difficult to tell if knee pain is due to an injury or arthritis. However, arthritis tends to result in knee pain that is gradual in nature. Over time, you will notice an increase in knee pain which is usually a dull pain.

If the knee pain is because of an injury, on the other hand, it tends to happen suddenly. Injuries to the ligaments, meniscus, and ACL can usually be traced back to a specific incident such as a fall or an outdoor sport. This type of pain tends to be sharper and more acute.
