Pain Behind Knee is Caused by:
  • Arthritis is one of the possible explanations for knee pain, a condition which appears when the joint gets inflamed. You will find that there is medication available which can be used to treat it, medication which can be obtained by visiting a doctor, which can confirm the problem.
  • Injuries to the ligaments that are found in the knee; this type of injury typically occurs during sporting or athletic activity and causes both instability in the knee and discomfort.
  • Injuries and tears to the cartilage in the knee; in both young patients and older patients, cartilage injuries commonly cause knee pain. Torn cartilage can also be a wear and tear injury from years of usage and is also common in obese or overweight patients.
  • Patellar tendonitis is a common cause of knee pain, and affects the patellar tendon, which is the large tendon that is located over the front of the knee.
  • Chondromalacia patella is a caused by softening of the cartilage and is characterized as knee pain that radiates from underneath the kneecap. This type of knee pain is more common in individuals between the ages of fifteen and thirty-five.
  • Dislocated kneecap can cause obvious pain during the dislocation itself, but can also lead to a more chronic type of knee pain as well. Baker’s cysts can cause knee pain, but usually as a result of a meniscus tear; this type of knee pain is typically accompanied by swelling in the back of the joint.
  • Bursitis affects the joint above the knee cap, and is a common knee pain complaint in those who kneel when working, such as carpenters, construction workers, landscapers and gardeners.
  • Gout can cause knee pain, but it is more uncommon than any of the above causes.
