Knee Pain (மூட்டு வலி)

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.

Many types of minor knee pain respond well to self-care measures. Physical therapy and knee braces also can help relieve knee pain. In some cases, however, your knee may require surgical repair.

Knee pain is a very common reason for a visit to a primary care doctor, and that is not surprising the knee is the largest joint in the body and supports almost the entire weight of the body, both when upright and when bending. If just one element of the complicated knee joint is damaged, the knee can become painful.

Knee pain and discomfort can be experienced many different ways: a dull ache, a sharp, stabbing pain, possibly accompained by stiffness, warmth and swelling of the knee. Some people also experience weakness or locking of the knee joint, which can be a strange and discomfiting sensation and inhibit one's ability to function.

Symptoms

The location and severity of knee pain may vary, depending on the cause of the problem. Signs and symptoms that sometimes accompany knee pain include:

• Swelling and stiffness
• Redness and warmth to the touch
• Weakness or instability
• Popping or crunching noises
• Inability to fully straighten the knee
