Your knee joints serve a vital role holding up your bodyweight and are put through even more pressure when you walk, run or jump. Knee pain is very common, both from sport injuries and the wear and tear of day-to-day life.
Knee pain can come from injuries including sprains, swollen or torn ligaments (anterior cruciate ligament or ACL), meniscus or cartilage tears and runner’s knee.
Sports injuries tend to affect one knee at a time. Pain in both knees is more common with arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout or pseudo gout, usually later in life.
| Knee symptoms | Possible cause |
| Pain after overstretching, overusing or twisting, often during exercise | Sprains and strains |
| Pain between your kneecap and shin, often caused by repetitive running or jumping | Tendonitis |
| Unstable, gives way when you try to stand, unable to straighten, may hear a popping sound during injury | Torn ligament, tendon or meniscus, cartilage damage |
| Teenagers and young adults with pain and swelling below kneecap | Osgood-Schlatter’s disease |
| Kneecap changes shape after a collision or sudden change in direction | Dislocated kneecap |
