Is Knee Pain Serious?

Your knee is the largest and most complex joint in your body. Any injury or age-related wear to this joint leads to pain, reduces your mobility and affects your quality of life. A third of Americans report experiencing knee pain at some point in their lives. This is the second-most common cause of chronic pain behind lower back pain. There are many causes of knee pain, from regular wear and tear to knee injuries.

Your knee joint plays a critical role in most physical activities. When it hurts, you can’t easily stand or walk, let alone jump, run, hop, slide or jog. The joint allows four main movements, namely extension, flexion, lateral rotation and medial rotation. Basically, you can bend you knee, extend your leg and rotate the joint a bit.

Given the complexity of the knee joint, you need to see a specialist if you experience any nagging pain. Dr. Amr Hosny and a team of experienced knee experts at the Spine & Rehab Group in New York City and northern New Jersey use cutting-edge equipment for knee pain diagnosis, treatment and knee pain relief.

Should I See a Doctor about Knee Pain?

Knee pain is a common complaint. Many people live with it through different pain management and home remedy solutions. But getting a diagnosis and medical review by a specialist is the best solution to avoid further complications and damage. Consult your knee doctor for a knee pain diagnosis If you notice symptoms such as:

Back of knee pain
Sudden, intense pain in your knee
Swelling, redness, bruising, soreness or tenderness
Stiffness and problems walking
Warmth and pain on your knee
A knee injury accompanied by a popping sound
Inability to fold your leg
Unusual sounds at the knee when walking, including clicking or crunching sounds

Any of these symptoms or any other discomfort around your knee requires immediate attention by your doctor. Even if you’ve suffered only a minor injury, you can do more damage to the joint by ignoring the pain or treating it simply with over-the-counter pain medications.

Knee pain is a common problem, but the causes can vary widely. From sports injuries to osteoarthritis, a thorough examination is essential to the determination of the best course of treatment. Dr. Amr Hosny, MD, MBA, FASA

Common Conditions and Injuries of the Knee

Meniscus Tear

Meniscus tears are one of the most common knee injuries and sports injuries that cause knee pain, especially in athletes. A meniscus tear can be the result of a forceful twisting or blow to the knee which causes knee pain, swelling and pain when moving. Meniscus tears are also referred to as torn knee cartilage.

Knee Ligament Injuries

The knee is made up 4 ligaments, ACL, MCL, LCL and PCL. These ligaments are parts of the knee that allow for stability and movement of the knee. ACL and MCL injuries such as sprains or tears are more common and often the result of a sports injury. Treatment for knee ligament injuries such as ACL or MCL tears can be successful without surgery.

Patellar Tendonitis

Tendonitis of the knee, also known as Jumper’s Knee, occurs due to inflammation, stress or injury of the patellar tendon in the knee. Repetitive motions that involve straightening of the knee, especially jumping, can lead to knee pain and knee stiffness that may be diagnosed as Patellar Tendonitis.

Runner’s Knee

Runner’s Knee is a knee condition that causes knee pain and difficulty bending the knee, most commonly in runners but also in bicyclists and other athletes. In Runner’s knee, the knee pain most commonly experienced is around the kneecap and can be exacerbated when bending the knee.

Knee Bursitis

Knee Bursitis is the inflammation of the bursae in your knee, which are sacs that allow cushioning of the knee joints to protect them from irritation. Symptoms of Knee Bursitis commonly are knee pain, swelling of the knee and knee tenderness. Knee Bursitis may develop due to strain on the knee, a sports injury or Arthritis.

Arthritis of the Knee

Arthritis of the knee causes inflammation of the joints in the knee, which ultimately leads to knee pain and limited mobility. Osteoarthritis of the knee, when knee cartilage wears away, is the most common type of arthritis to affect the knee joints. Non-surgical treatments are available to make knee pain manageable and improve mobility.

Anatomy Patellofemoral Pain Around the Patella

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Patellofemoral syndrome is a condition that causes pain in the kneecap or around the knee. It is prevalent among athletes, active teenagers, older adults, and people who perform physical labor and usually occurs after a sudden increase in activities such as running or jumping.

Obesity or being overweight
Poor muscle strength and flexibility
A previous knee injury
Some occupations and sports that put a lot of stress on your knees

Since knee injuries and ailments cause pain and limited mobility, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes if you fall under these risk factors. Follow your doctor’s instructions to ensure a lasting solution to your pain.
