Knee pain is discomfort in or around the knee joint. It is one of the most common reasons people visit a doctor. The knee is a large joint that carries much of your body’s weight and helps you walk, bend, and turn. Because it works so hard, it can be affected by injury, everyday wear, or ongoing health conditions. Knee pain can be mild and short-lived, or it can last a long time and affect daily life.
Signs of knee pain can include aching, stiffness, swelling, warmth, or a feeling that the knee may “give out.” Some people hear popping or grinding when they move. Others notice that pain gets worse after sitting, climbing stairs, or exercise.
