Common Causes of Chronic Knee Pain

Understanding the potential causes of knee pain can help you prevent it in the future. For those already experiencing knee problems, it can be helpful to understand the causes in order to identify what may have caused your condition.

Knee pain is often the result of one of a variety of risk factors:

ACL Injury

Injuries or tears in the ACL are a common cause of knee pain in athletes.

Fractures

Falls and auto accidents can cause breaks or fractures in the knee. Bones weakened by arthritis are also more likely to fracture due to mundane reasons like a bad step.

Torn Meniscus

Sudden twists to the knee while lifting weights or putting strain on the knees can tear the meniscus.

Knee Bursitis

The fluid‒filled sacs, called bursae, that cushion the joints can swell up and cause pain in the affected area.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and is a degenerative disease that causes the cartilage in the knee to deteriorate.
