Knee pain refers to discomfort in or around the knee joint—the crucial hinge that connects your thigh bone (femur) to your shin bone (tibia). It’s one of the most commonly used and burdened joints in the human body, supporting your weight during walking, climbing, bending, and standing.
Knee pain may come on suddenly due to injury or develop gradually due to overuse or underlying conditions. Depending on the source, you may feel pain:
Deep within the joint (arthritis or cartilage wear)
The discomfort may increase with specific movements, like climbing stairs or squatting, or flare up after prolonged rest. If the pain restricts mobility, causes swelling, or persists for days, it’s important to seek medical advice.
