Knee Pain

Knee pain is discomfort in or around the knee joint, which can result from injury, overuse, or underlying conditions like arthritis. It may be caused by damaged cartilage, ligaments, or tendons, leading to swelling, stiffness, or limited movement. Activities involving repetitive stress or sudden injury often trigger pain. Proper diagnosis involves examining the knee, understanding activity history, and possibly imaging. Treatment options include rest, ice, physical therapy, medication, or, in some cases, surgery. Managing knee pain consistently helps maintain joint function and quality of life by addressing the root cause.
