Knee Pain
Nowadays, Knee pain is one of the most common complaints from people of all ages. It can result from any injury, torn cartilage, or bleeding of ligaments. Knee Pain can occur due to aging and repeated stress on the knee. In today’s increasing rate of society, the rate of knee pain is increasing.
The knee depends on several structural parts, including bones, ligaments, cartilage, and tendons.
Symptoms of Knee Pain:
- You will notice some swelling and stiffness in your knee
- Your knee will be Red and sensitive when it’s touched
- Weakness or unstable knee
- Popping
- Crunching noises
- You are unable to straighten the knee fully
Now Let’s Come To the Causes Of Knee Pain:
Injuries
- ACL Injury- A torn Anterior Cruciate ligament causes the ACL injury, the one ligament out of four that connects your shinbone to the thighbone. An ACL injury is primarily seen in people who play basketball, soccer, or other sports requiring sudden direction changes.
- Fractures – The knee bones, including the kneecap, can be broken during falls or auto accidents. Also, people whose bones have been weakened by osteoporosis can sometimes be affected by a knee fracture simply by stepping wrong.
- Torn Meniscus- The rigid, rubbery cartilage can be torn if you suddenly twist your knee while taking some weights on it.
- Knee Bursitis- Some knee injuries cause inflammation in the bursae, which are fluid-filled sacs outside your knee joint so that tendons and ligaments glide smoothly over the joint.
- Patellar Tendinitis- Tendinitis causes irritation and inflammation of one or more tendons. This inflammation can happen only when there’s an injury to the patellar tendon. Runners, skiers, cyclists, and those involved in jumping sports and activities may develop patellar tendinitis.
Mechanical Problems:
Several factors increase your risk of having knee problems which include:
- Excess weight- The stress in the knee joint increase if you are overweight or obese, and you will find difficulty even during ordinary activities such as walking or going up and down stairs.
- Lack of muscle flexibility or strength- A lack of strength and flexibility can increase the risk of knee injuries. Strong muscles help stabilize and protect your joints, and muscle flexibility can help you to achieve a full range of motion.
- Certain sports or occupations- Some sports put more significant strain on your knees, like Alpine skiing and basketball jumps, and when you run or jog, all increase your risk of a knee injury.
- Previous injury- A previous knee injury makes you more likely to injure your knee again.
Risk Factors:
Some examples of mechanical problems that can cause knee pain include:
- Loose body
- Iliotibial band syndrome
- Dislocated kneecap
- Hip or foot pain
