Overview

About knee pain

Knee pain is a common complaint that affects people of all ages. Knee pain may be the result of an injury, such as a ruptured ligament or torn cartilage. Medical conditions — including arthritis, gout and infections — also can cause knee pain.

Conditions

What may be causing your knee pain

Each of these is assessed and treated by the physician who sees you. If yours is not here, call us — the list is the most common referrals rather than everything we see.

Arthritis (Osteoarthritis)

What is arthritis (osteoarthritis)?

Sometimes called degenerative arthritis, osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. It's a wear-and-tear condition that occurs when the cartilage in your knee deteriorates with use and age.

What causes arthritis in the knee?

OA usually appears after the age 50, because it involves overuse.

Bursitis

What is bursitis?

Bursitis is a painful condition that affects the small, fluid-filled sacs — called bursae — that cushion the bones, tendons and muscles near your joints. Bursitis occurs when bursae become inflamed.

What causes bursitis?

The most common causes of bursitis are repetitive motions or positions that put pressure on the bursae around a joint. Examples include:

  • Throwing a baseball or lifting something over your head repeatedly
  • Extensive kneeling for tasks such as laying carpet or scrubbing floors
