Knee Joint Pain
If you’re experiencing knee joint pain, it’s important to find relief to help ease any associated swelling and discomfort. But before you get treatment for your knee joint pain, it’s important to determine why you are experiencing this knee joint pain in the first place.
Causes of Knee Joint Pain
- Knee arthritis can cause knee joint pain and swelling.
- Trauma to the knee, such as injuries during sports, can result in knee joint pain and swelling.
- Bursitis, which can occur anywhere you have a joint, can also cause knee point pain. The term bursitis refers to the inflammation of the fluid-filled cushions called the bursa that protect the body’s joints.
- Overusing a joint playing sports, working out or doing other activities can lead to knee joint pain, inflammation and swelling.
- Infections can cause knee joint pain to flare up.
