Why is my knee hurting?
You may be experiencing knee pain for a variety of reasons, so it’s natural to be confused about what’s causing your symptoms.
Your knee is a hinge joint with only forward and backward movement. If your knees are properly aligned, you should be able to stand, walk, run, and dance with ease. You will not be able to move as freely as you would like if you have knee pain.
A number of factors can cause knee pain, including:
Patellar tendinitis
Tendons are fibrous, thick structures that connect muscles to bones. Tendonitis occurs when the tendons become inflamed and irritated. The patellar tendon is the tendon that connects the patella (kneecap) to the shinbone, allowing you to kick, run, and jump. Patellar tendinitis is common in runners, skiers, cyclists, and people who participate in jumping sports.
ACL damage
The ACL is one of four ligaments that connect our thigh bone to our shinbone. ACL injuries are more common in people who participate in sports that require quick changes in direction.
Meniscus tear
The meniscus is a shock absorber found between the shinbone and the thigh bone. The thick, rubbery cartilage in your knee may rip if you twist it quickly while bearing weight on it.
The best way to determine the true cause of your knee pain is to have a thorough evaluation by a licensed physical therapist at our Elmhurst, Brooklyn, Woodside, & Great Neck, NY physical therapy clinic.
Knee bursitis
Inflammation in the bursae, which are small sacs of fluid that cushion the outside of your knee joint, can be caused by an injury. Bursitis makes it difficult for tendons and ligaments to glide smoothly over the joint.
Fractures
The bones of the knee, particularly the kneecap (patella), can be damaged if you fall or are in a car accident. If you have osteoporosis, a knee fracture can occur simply by taking the wrong step.
Whatever the cause of your knee pain, the physical therapists at Roadside Physical Therapy are here to help you get the relief you deserve.
