The main reasons for knee pain
Osteoarthritis: The cartilage that prevents friction between the bones in the knee wears down as we age.
Obesity: As we gain weight, our knees have to support it. This puts excessive pressure on the knee joints and causes pain.
Injuries: Falls, injuries while playing sports, and injuries to the ligaments in the knee can cause severe pain.
Overuse: Knee pain is common in people who climb stairs frequently, sit on their knees for long periods of time, and exercise excessively.
Arthritis/Rheumatoid Arthritis: Diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis cause swelling and pain in the joints.
Gout: When the level of uric acid in the blood increases, it forms crystals in the joints and causes severe pain.
Muscle weakness: If the muscles around the knee are weak, the natural movement of the knee will be hindered and pain will be felt.
