Here are some common causes of knee pain. It is recommended to get your knee tested if the pain persists.
Bursitis
When fluids accumulate in the knees, it could cause pain, swelling and tenderness. If the redness and pain persists, meet a doctor.
Sprain
When you exert lot of pressure on your leg tissues, a sprain might occur. It could cause pain and may recover within a few days if its a minor sprain. Apply ice pack and take enough rest.
Anterior Knee Pain
Weak muscles, injuries or over exertion could also cause knee pain. You may experience pain when trying to sit or climbing stars. An ice cube may help.
Septic...
Infections could also cause pain, swelling and burning sensation in the knees. You might need doctor's attention and antibiotics. Also, it could be septic arthritis; a doctor can confirm the same after testing.
Osteoarthritis
Even osteoarthritis could cause pain in the knees. Obesity could also increase stress on the knees. You might need to go to a doctor if that is the case.
Torn Ligament
Your joints and bones are connected by ligaments. Your bones and muscles are joined by tendons. When you are into sports or activities which cause stress on them, they might tear and may cause pain. You might need to visit a doctor in this case as surgery is required if the damage is a major one.
Tears
Your knee comes with a cartilage pair known as meniscus. Its role is to act like a cushion amidst bone and your kneecap. When that cartilage tears, it causes pain and swelling. Your doctor might prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs and ice pack.
Kneecap Pain
While bending your knee, if you hear a cracking sound then it could be due to dislocation of your knee cap. Swelling could occur along with pain. Avoid running if that occurs and visit a doctor.
