Knee Problems and Injuries

Knee pain or injury: Overview

Injuries are a common cause of knee problems. Sudden (acute) injuries may be caused by a direct blow to the knee. They can also be caused by abnormal twisting, bending, or falling on the knee. Pain, bruising, or swelling may be severe, and may start within minutes of the injury.

Overuse is another cause of knee pain. Other causes are climbing stairs, kneeling, and other activities that use the knee. Everyday wear and tear, especially as you get older, also can cause knee pain.

Rest, along with home treatment, often relieves pain and allows your knee to heal. If you have a serious knee injury, you may need tests and treatment.
