UNDERSTANDING THE CAUSES BEHIND YOUR KNEE PAIN
⚜️ Knee Injuries
✅ Knee injuries can arise from various causes, including falls, accidents, heavy lifting, or engaging in high-intensity sports activities. These situations can not only lead to external injuries such as scratches or bruises but may also result in more serious damage. Specifically, knee injuries can include: ligament sprains or tears; tendon ruptures; bone fractures; and knee dislocations.
✅ These injuries not only cause knee pain and discomfort but can also severely affect your ability to move and your quality of life. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is crucial to seek timely medical consultation and treatment to avoid long-term complications.
⚜️ Diseases
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition in which the body produces antibodies that attack the connective tissue in the joint capsule, causing inflammation, redness, and pain during movement. This disease can lead to severe damage and affect most joints in the body, including the knees.
Knee Osteoarthritis
This is a condition of aging or severe damage to the knee cartilage and subchondral bone. It is a chronic disease that can lead to knee inflammation and cause many other dangerous complications.
Knee Bursitis
Occurs when the bursa around the knee joint becomes inflamed, leading to pain and discomfort in the knee area, affecting the joint’s ability to move properly.
Gout
Gout is a metabolic disorder involving uric acid buildup in the body, causing acute arthritis and potentially progressing to chronic arthritis. Gout causes severe pain for sufferers.
⚜️ Unhealthy Lifestyle
✅ Knee pain is increasingly common among younger individuals, largely due to the widespread unhealthy lifestyles today. Irregular working hours, frequent late nights, consumption of stimulants such as alcohol, ci******es, and poor dietary habits can damage the joints. These habits weaken the bones and joints, making them more susceptible to health issues. This is a primary cause of joint pain, especially knee pain, in younger people.
