Common Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain can come from a number of sources, such as:
Arthritis
Arthritis can cause knee pain. It is when the cartilage in your knees breaks down.
Arthritis can also make you want to move less, which means your arthritis will get worse because there is not enough blood flow and movement in your knees. To help arthritis go away, you need to keep moving so that it doesn’t hurt as much.
Sprains or fractures
Sprains and fractures are both injuries to the bones. Sprains are when you stretch or tear the ligaments that hold your bones together. Fractures are when you break a bone. Both can cause severe pain to your knees.
Bursitis
Bursitis is a condition that causes pain and inflammation in the bursa. The bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac that cushions and lubricates your joints. When it becomes inflamed, it can cause a lot of pain and discomfort, especially in your knees.
Tendonitis
Tendonitis is a condition that causes pain and inflammation in the tendon. Tendons are the tissues that connect muscles to bones. When they become inflamed, it can be very painful and make it difficult to move your knees.
Ligament damage
Ligament damage is a serious injury that can occur in your knees. It is when the ligaments that hold your bones together are stretched or torn. This can cause severe pain and make it difficult to move your knees.
Gout
Gout is a type of arthritis that is caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood. When this happens, it can cause crystals to form in your joints, which leads to pain and inflammation. Gout is most commonly found in the big toe, but it can also happen in your knees.
Osgood Schlatter’s disease
When you grow, your bones don’t always match up. The bone in your legs is called the tibia, and near it are muscle attachments that make it harder to move. Sometimes the bone grows unevenly and this can cause pain in the knee.
This is what Osgood Schlatter’s disease is. It happens when there isn’t enough calcium in your body, which can happen because of a lack of vitamin D or some other reason. When this happens, you might feel pain when you walk or run and get tired more quickly than usual.
