Knee Pain Q & A

What causes knee pain?

A variety of knee pain injuries and conditions can contribute to knee pain in people both young and old. The most common disease that affects older men and women is a wear-and-tear form of arthritis called osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis causes knee pain when the cartilage around your knee joint wears away over time.

As a result, you have less cushioning and shock absorption around your knee. When this happens, you experience pain and inflammation. Other causes of knee pain include:

  • Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries
  • Sports-related injuries and overuse
  • Torn meniscus (cartilage)
  • Knee bursitis
  • Patellar tendinitis
  • Dislocated kneecap
  • A loose piece of bone or cartilage in your knee

You could also experience knee pain as a result of being overweight and putting too much stress on your knee joints. Gout and rheumatoid arthritis could also be underlying factors of chronic knee pain.

When should I see a doctor for knee pain?

When symptoms or pain become unbearable or negatively affect the quality of your life, it’s a good idea to seek treatment for your knee pain. If you experience any of the following symptoms that don’t improve with at-home treatments, it’s time to schedule an appointment with the team at BBC Health:

  • Swelling and stiffness around your knee joint
  • Inability to extend your knee or bear weight on it
  • Redness around your knee that feels warm to the touch
  • Popping or grinding sounds when you walk
  • Severe knee pain associated with an injury

Of course, if you notice a deformity in the appearance of your leg, or you experience serious trauma to your knee, seek immediate medical attention.
