The knee is considered to be the largest joint in the human body. A healthy knee is highly important as it enables one to walk, turn and perform multiple activities without any hassle. Since it is the connecting joint between the upper and lower legs’ bones, it enables the leg to bend and also provides the stability that supports one’s body weight.
Your knee joint comprises of three bones. The thigh bone (femur) is located right above the shinbone, also known as the tibia. When you twist or unbend your knees, the circular end of your thigh bone rotates and slides through the relatively flat topside of the shinbone.
The third bone is known as the kneecap (patella), which accompanies the muscles, that enables you to unbend your knees. The knee cap gives you the advantage and lessens the strain on the muscles. According to Dr Avtar Singh, the best orthopaedics surgeon, healthy knee joints comprises of the bones whose surfaces are extremely smooth and are protected with a tough screen of tissues called cartilages.
Probing further, according to an orthopaedics doctor if something goes wrong with the aforementioned parts of the joint, you are certain to encounter a severe joint pain that surely requires knee pain treatment. Besides that, there are several factors that are responsible for the development of this pain. Some of the causes are listed below that can help you with knee pain treatment:
Mechanical Problems
Below mentioned are some of the common mechanical issues that give rise to the knee joint pain:
Loose Body – At times the injury or decaying of the bones or cartilages affects the joint space. This is because the piece of the bone or cartilage invades into that joint space. This invasion is not problematic until the loose body intervenes with the movement of the knee joint.
Iliotibial Band Syndrome
This problem arises when the outer extension of your hip that is a tough band of tissue that connects to the outer part of the knees (iliotibial band) becomes so firm that it strikes against the top face of the femur.
Dislocation of the Kneecap
This problem arises, when the triangular bone (patella) that is the front covering of your knee, hatches out of its place.
In certain cases, the displaced kneecap stays, that further makes the dislocation visible.
Types of Arthritis
There are more than 100 varieties of arthritis that exists. But there are a few that affect the knee adversely. These are:
Osteoarthritis
Also known as degenerative arthritis, this is the most common of all the types. This problem occurs when the cartilage, present in the knee decays with the use and age.
Rheumatoid arthritis
This exhausting form of arthritis is an autoimmune condition that can impact any joint in your body. Although it is a chronic disease, it has a tendency to differ in severity and at times it is even temporary.

Gout
This is a kind of arthritis which is caused due to the building up of the crystals of the uric acid in the joint. Although gout usually affects the big toe, it can also strike the knee.
Other Risk Factors in Knee Pain
Besides the aforementioned causes of knee joint pain, there are a few other factors that contribute to this problem:
Overweight
With obesity and excessive weight comes the stress upon the knee joints. This stress develops even during normal activities such as walking or climbing the staircase. It also places your joint cartilage at risk since their breakdown gets accelerated.
