What is knee pain?

Knee pain refers to any discomfort, stiffness, or instability in or around the knee joint. You may experience a dull, persistent ache or sharp, severe pain, depending on the underlying cause. Knee pain can be triggered by activities like walking, running, or jumping, or it may occur suddenly after a fall or injury.

While some cases of knee pain can be managed with home remedies, persistent or worsening pain should be evaluated by a professional. If your knee pain interferes with your daily life, fails to improve with at-home care, or occurs after a sports injury, it’s time to schedule a consultation with the specialists at NeuroSpine Center of Wisconsin.

What are the common causes of knee pain?

The knee is a complex joint made up of bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Pain can arise from damage or disease affecting any of these components. Common causes of knee pain include:

Arthritis
Fractures
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury
Strains or sprains
Dislocation
Bursitis
Patellar tendonitis
Loose body
Iliotibial band syndrome
Foot and ankle pain
Hip pain

Certain factors, like participating in high-impact sports (e.g., skiing or basketball), working in physically demanding occupations, and carrying excess weight, can increase your risk of developing knee pain.
