Knee Pain

Pain in, around, or behind the knee from joint problems, overuse, or injury.

About this condition

The knee is the largest and one of the most complex joints in the body. Knee pain can originate from the joint itself, the surrounding tendons and ligaments, the kneecap (patella), or referred from the hip or lower back. Identifying the cause is essential for effective treatment.

Common symptoms

  • Pain in the front, back, inner, or outer knee
  • Swelling or warmth
  • Stiffness, especially after rest
  • A clicking, popping, or locking sensation
  • Difficulty bending or straightening fully
