Some of the most common knee problems can be found below, and they include:
Knee osteoarthritis — As you age, the cartilage in your knee, as well as other parts of your body, begins to break down. Once the knee cartilage is completely gone, your bones start to rub against each other. This bone-on-bone rubbing can be quite painful.
Rheumatoid arthritis — Rheumatoid arthritis is a form of knee arthritis that causes your joints to become inflamed and can destroy the cartilage in your knee.
Bursitis — This occurs when the liquid-filled sacs surrounding your knee become inflamed or irritated.
Gout — Gout can cause discomfort in your knee when there is too much uric acid build-up in your body.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome — This typically affects children, young adults, and athletes. However, it can affect older adults if they have developed arthritis in their kneecap. This condition usually causes pain behind or around the kneecap.
