Knee Joint Pain

Q: What is knee joint pain?

Knee joint pain describes pain arising from within or around the knee — one of the largest and most mechanically demanding joints in the body. It can originate from the patellofemoral joint (front of knee), the medial or lateral compartment, the menisci, ligaments, bursae, or the infrapatellar fat pad. Common causes include osteoarthritis (progressive cartilage loss causing pain with activity and rest), patellofemoral pain syndrome (pain around the kneecap, particularly with stairs, squatting, or prolonged sitting), meniscal injury (sharp pain with twisting movements and swelling), ligament damage (from sports or trauma), bursitis (bursae inflammation), and Osgood-Schlatter disease in adolescents.
