Knee pain is a common ailment that can affect people of all ages. It can range from a mild annoyance to a debilitating condition that interferes with daily life. There are many potential causes of knee pain, including: 

• Injuries: Sprains, strains, tears, and fractures can all cause knee pain. These injuries can occur from sudden trauma, such as a fall or sports injury, or from overuse, such as repetitive stress on the knee joint.

• Arthritis: Arthritis is a degenerative condition that causes inflammation and pain in the joints. There are several types of arthritis that can affect the knee, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis. 

• Overuse: Overuse of the knee joint can lead to inflammation and pain. This is often seen in athletes or people who perform repetitive activities that put stress on the knees. 

• Other medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as gout, bursitis, and tendonitis, can also cause knee pain.
