What is Knee Pain?
Knee pain refers to any discomfort or soreness in or around the knee joint, which may result from injuries, medical conditions, or wear and tear. The knee joint is made up of bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, & other tissues, and damage to any of these structures can lead to pain. Knee pain can severely impact daily activities, causing limitations in mobility & quality of life.
Common Symptoms of Knee Pain:
- Pain, swelling, or inflammation in or around the knee joint
- Stiffness or difficulty in bending and straightening the knee
- Clicking, grinding, or popping sounds while moving the knee
- Difficulty walking or bearing weight
- Limited range of motion
Causes of Knee Pain:
- Injuries: Sprains, fractures, ligament tears, or meniscus tears can cause knee pain due to trauma or overuse.
- Osteoarthritis: A degenerative condition where the cartilage in the knee joint wears down, leading to chronic pain and stiffness.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disorder where the body attacks its joints, including the knees.
- Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons, usually caused by overuse or repetitive movement.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, fluid-filled sacs that cushion the knee joint, often due to repetitive kneeling.
- Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: Pain around the kneecap due to overuse or misalignment.
- Meniscus Tears: Injury to the shock-absorbing cartilage in the knee joint, often caused by twisting movements.
How is Knee PainDiagnosed?
Dr. Dattatray Bhakare uses a combination of medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests to determine the cause of knee pain. Diagnostic methods may include:
- X-rays to assess bone alignment and joint degeneration
- MRI scans to evaluate soft tissue injuries like ligament or meniscus tears
- Ultrasound for real-time imaging of tendons and ligaments
- Blood tests to rule out autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or gout
