Your guide to Knee Pain and Knee Treatment options

Experiencing knee pain when bending, walking, running, or while sleeping at night? These symptoms could be signs of an underlying knee condition such as arthritis, cartilage damage, or ligament injury. Let’s understand about your symptoms. 

Discomfort in the knee, commonly referred to as knee pain, can affect individuals of all ages. It may be caused by acute injuries such as a torn ligament or cartilage, or stem from medical conditions like arthritis, gout, or joint infections. Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment and long-term relief.

Some causes of knee pain are obvious while others may require expert examination and special investigations to diagnose. Some knee pain may even arise from outside the knee; a common example is an arthritis of the hip.  

The knee is not only the largest joint in the body, it is in fact two joints. The larger of the two is the joint between the thighbone and the larger of the lower leg bones. The kneecap or patella is a bone within the tendon of the quadriceps muscle. In addition, there are a large number of muscles, ligaments, and tendons acting to move or stabilize the knee. Pain may arise from all these structures either singly or in combination.  

Below is the list of knee problems: 

• Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury 
• Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Injury 
• Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Injury 
• Lateral Collateral Ligament(LCL) Injury 
• Meniscus Injuries 
• Iliobtibial Band Syndrome 
• Plica Syndrome 
• Dislocation 
• Unstable Kneecap 
• Patellar Tendonitis (Jumper’s Knee)
• Knee Osteoarthritis
• Genu Valgum

Minor knee pain may respond well to self-care measures. If there is swelling around the knee—especially following an impact—and the pain doesn’t improve with rest, it’s a good idea to seek medical attention. In some cases, pain may develop gradually as a result of underlying medical conditions. Seeking treatment early can help prevent the condition from getting worse.

In more serious cases however, you might need physical therapy or surgical repair to help relieve the pain. There are many treatments options to knee pain. These depends on the type of condition one is facing. Watch the video below to understand the latest knee treatment for severe knee issues by our Orthopaedic Surgeon.
