Understanding Knee Injuries

Knee injuries affect the ligaments, cartilage, tendons, or bones that support the joint. These issues often result from sports, falls, accidents, or general wear and tear. Runners, athletes, older adults, and people in physically demanding jobs tend to be at higher risk.

Common conditions include meniscus tears, ligament sprains, tendinitis, and post-surgical recovery. These injuries can lead to pain, instability, and restricted movement, making it difficult to stay active or perform basic tasks.

Common Symptoms of Knee Injuries

Knee injuries can present in several different ways, depending on the cause. You may experience

  • Pain when bending, walking, or kneeling
  • Swelling or stiffness around the joint
  • Clicking, popping, or catching sensations
  • Instability or the knee giving out
  • Weakness in the leg or thigh
  • Difficulty using stairs, standing, or squatting
