Knee pain facts

• Knee pain is a common problem with many causes,
  from acute injuries to complications of medical
  conditions.
• Knee pain can be localized to a specific area of
  the knee or be diffuse throughout the knee.
• Knee pain is often accompanied by physical
  restriction.
• A thorough physical examination will usually
  establish the diagnosis of knee pain.
• The treatment of knee pain depends on the
  underlying cause.
• The prognosis of knee pain, even severe knee
  pain, is usually good although it might require
  surgery or other interventions.

What is knee pain?
Pain is a common knee problem that can originate
in any of the bony structures compromising the
knee joint (femur, tibia, fibula), the kneecap
(patella), or the ligaments, tendons, and
cartilage (meniscus) of the knee. Knee pain can
be aggravated by physical activity, as well as
obesity, affected by the surrounding muscles and
their movements, and be triggered by other
problems (such as a foot injury). Knee pain can
affect people of all ages, and home remedies can
be helpful unless it becomes severe.

What are knee pain symptoms and signs?
The location of the knee pain can vary depending
on which structure is involved. With infection or
an inflammatory process, the whole knee might be
swollen and painful, while a torn meniscus or
fracture of a bone gives symptoms only in one
specific location. A Baker cyst will usually
cause pain in the back of the knee.
The severity of the joint pain can vary, from a
minor ache to a severe and disabling pain.
Some of the other signs and symptoms that
accompany knee pain are

• difficulty weight bearing or walking due to
  instability of the knee,
• limping due to discomfort,
• difficulty walking up or down steps due to
  ligament damage (sprain),
• locking of the knee (unable to bend the knee),
• redness and swelling,
• inability to extend the knee, and
• shifting weight to the opposite knee and foot.
