Medical Video: How to Fix Knee Pain Fast - REALLY WORKS!
Knee serves to support your body both when walking, running, and sitting and squatting. If you experience problems with the knee, the pain will certainly hamper all your movements. What can make the knee hurt when on the move? Apparently, there are many! See below.
Causes of knee pain when straight or bent
If you feel symptoms of knee pain, either when your legs are being straightened or bent like when sitting or squatting:
- Pain when bending the knee.
- Feet or calf feels weak
- Stiff knees when jumping, squatting, sitting, climbing stairs.
- Feeling pain under the kneecap when standing or silent.
You may experience patellofemoral or jumper’s knee. In many cases, patellofemoral pain syndromes are caused by repeated stressful physical activity in the patella which causes the knee to hurt and feel weak when used for activities. For example after excessive exercise involving knee movements such as running, jumping, and lifting weights.
This condition is more common in sports activists, but everyone can experience this if they have an accident or injury.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome can also be caused by the kneecap position outside in the trochlear groove (shell pads), resulting in the patella being pushed to one side when the knee is bent. This disorder can cause an increase in pressure between the back of the patella and the trochlea, and irritate the surrounding soft tissues.
Another cause of knee pain
Apart from injury and excessive use of the knee while on the move, the cause of knee pain is still there are many more that can interfere with activities when standing, sitting, or squatting.
Other causes of knee pain are:
- Osteoarthritis (calcification of joints). Damage to the knee joint can be caused by natural aging, obesity, trauma, or other factors.
- Bursitis: inflammation caused by repeated use of the knee until the knee cartilage is damaged.
- Baker's cyst: a buildup of synovial fluid (fluid that lubricates the joint) behind the knee.
- Dislocation: displacement of the kneecap due to trauma
- Meniscus tear: When one of the ligaments in the knee is broken or torn, you can experience knee pain when moved.
- Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) can also occur in the knee.
