Knee pain
Knee pain is a common complaint that can be encountered in people of any age Knee pain can be caused by an injury, such as a torn ligament or cartilage damage Diseases such as arthritis, arthritis or infections can also cause knee pain
Mild cases of knee pain will mostly go away with treatment at home Physical therapy and immobilization of the knee sometimes help patients Sometimes, the knee needs surgery
Knee pain can be caused by an injury, mechanical problem, arthritis or other diseases
Injury, trauma Injury to the knee joint can cause damage to any nearby ligament, tendon or fluid-filled pocket (abga, bursa), bone, cartilage Common causes of knee injuries are:
- Injury of the anterior cruciate ligament The anterior cruciate ligament is one of four ligaments that connect the femur and tibia. Yoga injuries are common in players of basketball, football, or other sports that often have to change direction quickly.
- meniscus tear The meniscus is a rough, rubbery cartilage that sits between the bones and reduces frictional forces. Meniscus tissue can be damaged when you lift your knee with weight and change direction
- knee bursitis Some injuries to the knee cause inflammation of the bursa (bursa). Abga is a small pocket that allows the tendons and ligaments around the joint to move smoothly.
- Kviristavi tendinitis Tendinitis is inflammation of one or more tendons A tendon is a thick, fibrous tissue that connects muscle to bone Runners, skiers and active sports players often complain of tendinitis This tendon connects the quadriceps muscle to the thigh and tibia muscles Mechanical problems that cause knee pain are: Sometimes trauma or degeneration in the bone and cartilage causes parts of these structures to break off and move freely in the joint space. This body may not cause symptoms, but if it prevents the knee joint from moving freely, pain is likely.
- Iliotibial tract strain This condition occurs when the ligament that runs from the pelvis to the surface of the tibia stretches so much that it rubs against the outer surface of the femur. Athletes who run long distances are at particular risk
- Falling weekend It happens when the triangular bone (the patella) that covers the front surface of the knee slips out of place on the outside of the knee. Sometimes, it may take a week to see a dislocation
- Hip or ankle pain If you have hip and ankle pain, you may want to modify your movement to put less stress on those painful joints. At this time, more pressure develops on the knee joint Sometimes, the pain spreads to other parts of the limb, including the knee
Arthritis There are more than 100 types of arthritis Arthritis affecting the knee joint is:
- Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis is sometimes called degenerative arthritis and is the most common type Osteoarthritis is caused by "wear and tear" of the joint, in which the cartilage in the knee wears away with age.
- Rheumatoid arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis is the most severe form of arthritis and is caused by an autoimmune condition that affects any joint in the body, including the knee. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease, but it varies in severity and symptoms come and go over time
- Necres wind In this type of arthritis, uric acid crystals accumulate in the joints Gout most commonly affects the big toe joint, but the knee can also be involved.
- Pseudogout Pseudogout often resembles gout, but in this case, calcium-containing crystals form in the joint fluid. At this time, the knee joint is most often damaged
- Septic arthritis Sometimes the knee joint becomes infected, swelling, pain and redness develop This condition is usually not preceded by an injury Septic arthritis is accompanied by fever
Other problems Chondromalacia patella (patellofemoral pain syndrome) is a condition in which pain starts between the kneecap (patella) and the thigh. This disease is common in athletes, teenagers, especially if there is a small change in the week In adults, the syndrome develops as a result of arthritis
The location and severity of pain varies depending on the underlying cause Common accompanying signs and symptoms include:
- Stickness and burning
- Redness, warmth
- Weakness, unsteadiness
- Tickling sounds
- Difficulty extending the knee
