About knee pain
Knee pain is very common and has many causes: osteoarthritis (wear of the joint cartilage), ligament or meniscus injury, bursitis, tendon problems, patellofemoral pain, gout, rheumatoid arthritis and, rarely, infection. Excess weight, previous injury, weak thigh muscles, poor footwear and overuse increase the risk. Pain with stairs, stiffness after rest, swelling, creaking and a feeling of the knee giving way are typical. Weight loss, strengthening the thigh muscles, physiotherapy, supportive footwear and avoiding repeated deep squatting and kneeling help most people. See a doctor promptly for a hot, red, swollen knee with fever, pain after a fall with inability to bear weight, visible deformity, locking of the knee, or calf swelling.
