Top Causes of Knee Pain and When to See an Orthopedic Specialist

Knee pain is one of the most common complaints across all age groups. Whether it’s a sudden injury, an underlying medical condition, or wear and tear over time, knee problems can seriously affect your mobility and quality of life. Understanding the common causes is the first step towards proper treatment and lasting relief.

 1. Osteoarthritis

The most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease where the cartilage in the knee gradually wears away. This leads to pain, stiffness, and swelling. It usually affects middle-aged and older adults.

 

2. Injuries

Knee injuries, especially to ligaments (like ACL or MCL tears), tendons, or meniscus (cartilage), are frequent among athletes and active individuals. These injuries may require surgical intervention and physiotherapy.

3. Overuse and Repetitive Strain

Conditions such as patellar tendinitis, bursitis, and IT band syndrome often result from repetitive activities like running, jumping, or prolonged standing. They lead to inflammation and pain around the knee joint.

 4. Obesity

Carrying excess body weight puts additional stress on your knees, making them more vulnerable to damage and degeneration. Obesity is a significant risk factor for developing osteoarthritis.

 5. Developmental or Structural Issues

Some individuals are born with anatomical irregularities in the legs or feet that can misalign the knee joint, eventually causing pain or injury.

 6. Medical Conditions

Certain systemic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and infections can lead to chronic inflammation in the knee joint, resulting in severe pain and reduced mobility.

Don’t Ignore Knee Pain!

If you experience:

·         Persistent or sharp knee pain                        

·         Swelling or stiffness

·         Difficulty walking or sifting & sweating  

·         Popping or crunching noises

·         Limited range of motion

·        it’s time to consult a specialist.
