Why do I have knee pain?

The reasons you have knee pain are many. Your knees are complex joints that support much of your body’s weight when you stand, walk, and run. The stress you place on your knees daily takes its toll, leading to problems that cause pain.

Any injury or disease that affects the structure or function of the knee can cause knee pain. These injuries and diseases include:

• Knee arthritis
• Ligament injuries
• Meniscus tears
• Muscle strains
• Fractures
• Dislocations
• Bursitis (inflammation of the bursa)
• Tendinitis (inflammation of the tendons)

You could also have knee pain if you have a problem with one of your other weight-bearing joints, like hip arthritis or a back condition.

You can develop knee pain following an acute injury. However, most people get knee pain due to the degenerative changes that affect the knee joint, a condition called knee osteoarthritis.

When do I need sports medicine for knee pain?
