🧑⚕️❤️Hello Everyone, today I would like to introduce 5 cause the knee pain disease, As knees has a complex structure and bears significant weight, and the causes of its pain are closely related to age and activity levels. Below 5 disease are the main causes and symptoms I have summarized based on My 45 years clinical experience:
✅Main Causes of Knee Pain
1️⃣ Knee Osteoarthritis: This is the most common cause in middle-aged and elderly individuals, a "wear-and-tear" condition of the articular cartilage. With age, obesity, overuse, or genetic factors, the articular cartilage wears away, leading to "bone rubbing on bone," which causes pain, bone spurs (osteophytes), and deformity.
⏩Typical Symptoms:
🔻Pain: Worsens after activity (e.g., walking, climbing stairs) and relieves with rest. It is intermittent in the early stages and becomes persistent later.
🔻Stiffness: Joint stiffness after waking up or prolonged sitting, which improves after a few minutes of movement.
2️⃣ Meniscus Tear: The meniscus is a C-shaped cartilage cushion within the knee joint that acts as a shock absorber and stabilizer.
🔸Acute Injury: Common during sports involving twisting motions, sudden stops, or changes in direction.
🔸Degenerative Tear: More common in older adults; the cartilage becomes brittle and can tear even under minor stress (e.g., squatting).
⏩Typical Symptoms:
🔻 Clicking or Locking: A popping sound during knee movement or the knee suddenly getting stuck and unable to straighten fully.
🔻Localized Pain and Swelling: Pain is felt at a specific point along the joint line, often severe when squatting or rotating the knee.
3️⃣ Ligament Injury: Several ligaments inside and outside the knee joint maintain its stability.
🔸 Anterior/Posterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL/PCL) Injury: Often occurs during sports from sudden stops, landing from a jump, or direct impact, causing severe joint pain and instability.
🔸Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Injury: Often caused by a blow to the outside of the knee.
⏩Typical Symptoms:
🔻Acute Severe Pain and Instability: Often a "pop" sound is heard at the moment of injury. The joint swells rapidly, with a feeling of the knee "giving way" or being unstable, making it unable to bear weight.
4️⃣Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner's Knee): A common condition among young people and sports enthusiasts, caused by abnormal tracking of the patella (kneecap) within the femoral groove. It is associated with muscle imbalances in the thigh, flat feet, or improper training.
⏩Typical Symptoms:
🔻Pain Around the Patella: Pain is located in front of or behind the kneecap, most noticeable when climbing stairs, descending stairs, or after prolonged sitting with the knee bent.
5️⃣Knee Synovitis: The synovial membrane lining the joint capsule becomes inflamed due to trauma, overuse, rheumatic autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), or infection. This leads to excessive fluid secretion, causing joint swelling
⏩Typical Symptoms:
🔻Diffuse Swelling: The entire knee swells uniformly, potentially feeling warm to the touch, accompanied by persistent dull pain and distension.
Important Note: If knee pain is accompanied by severe swelling, inability to bear weight, or significant instability, it is crucial to seek prompt medical attention.
