Knee pain is a common problem that can affect people of all ages. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, arthritis, and overuse. While there are many treatment options available, surgery is often seen as a last resort.

Causes of Knee Pain

There are three main types of injuries that can cause knee pain:

• Ligament sprains: Ligaments are the tough bands of tissue that connect bones together. A ligament sprain is a stretch or tear of a ligament.
• Meniscus tears: The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage that cushions the joint between your shinbone and thighbone. A meniscus tear can occur when you twist your knee or squat down with a lot of weight on it.
• Tendonitis: Tendons are the cords that connect muscles to bones. Tendonitis is the inflammation of a tendon. It can be caused by overuse or repetitive motions.
