Short and sweet

The knee’s greater advantage is also its greatest disadvantage. In essence, the knee is an anatomically elaborate axial joint, and it owes its ability to move and carry weight to an array of muscles, ligaments, and meniscus that work together. However, its “engineering complexity” can also become a source of many problems when one of the components is disrupted, injured, or ” fatigued.”

What causes knee pain?

As we walk up the stairs, our knees are forced to carry a load that weighs four (!) times our body weight, and that is just one example of the burden placed on these joints.
Due to the same anatomical complexity, pain of various kinds can occur in the knee, resulting from a variety of problems that are not always easily diagnosed. These include external injuries, tears or ruptures, inflammation, tendon infections, and more.

How does knee pain feel like?

Because everybody experiences pain differently, it’s hard to accurately describe how knee pain feels like. In most cases, knee pain will be mild to moderate, though it may change from person to person. This pain may also appear anywhere in the knee, including the front, back, and sides. Sometimes, knee pain can limit your mobility.
Most people with knee issues don’t experience pain all day long; instead, the pain only when performing specific actions like bending over, cycling, and more.

Knee Pain: When to see a doctor?

Consult your doctor if your knee pain is accompanied by redness or swelling. The same is true if the pain lasts a long time. If you’ve had an external injury or are experiencing severe movement restriction, contact your doctor as soon as possible.

How is knee pain diagnosed?

Knee pain is diagnosed by performing an external physical examination of the knee. X-rays and blood tests to detect inflammatory markers in the knee are also used. Sometimes the solution can be reached at the GP level without reaching an orthopedist directly.

How long will my knee hurt?

The human knee is very complex, and so are its potential sources of pain. Often, knee aches go away on their own without any medical interventions or treatments. Other times you may need to seek medical help. All in all, your knee can hurt for two days, or it can hurt for two months or more, depending on what’s causing the issue.

How is knee pain treated?

If you have mild pain that doesn’t require medical attention, it is recommended that you practice active rest. Active rest doesn’t mean lying motionless in bed for days, but moving gently and paying attention to your body signals.
When you are in pain – and in the future, to prevent the recurrence of pain – it is recommended to strengthen the muscles in the area. This is done through moderate exercises tailored to your condition, age, and ability.
It is also worth mentioning that your body weight can put a lot of pressure on your knees, so if you are overweight, even a reduction of three or four percent of body weight may be beneficial.
Other treatments include elastic bandaging and physical therapy. In extreme situations, surgery will be required.
