Some Common Knee Pain Problems
Numerous knee problems are a result of the body’s aging process and the continuous stress and wear and tear on the knee joint contributes to the knee problems. While some injuries are a result of a sudden movement or an injury that put excess pressure on the knee. Some commonly occurring knee pain problems are as follows:
Torn cartilage
An injury to the knee can tear the pads of connective tissue that enhance stability and act as shock absorbers i.e., the menisci. The tearing of the cartilage most often occurs due to the sprains. This condition is very common in older adults and the treatment might involve the use of a brace, especially during an activity to save the knee from further injury. [2] Some patients might need a surgery to repair the cartilage tear.
