who love to indulge themselves in sports and exercise.

who have faced any accidental or sports injuries.

Here, we will learn about the most common injuries that lead to severe knee pain.


Knee conditions you should not ignore

1)  Ligament Injuries

Ligament injuries happen because of a tear in one of the four ligaments in our knee.
There are four types of ligament injuries. Such as ACL, PCL, MCL, and LCL.


ACL(Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Injury:- ACL is one of the significant ligament injuries.
It occurs due to sudden direction changes, abrupt stops, and improper landing after a jump.
ACL is common for people who play sports like football, hockey, and soccer.


PCL(Posterior Cruciate Ligament) Injury:- PCL is one of the most vital ligaments.
PCL injuries occur due to a direct blow to the bent knee, and PCL injuries occur because
of a car accident or falling on our knees.


MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament) Injury:- MCL is one of the crucial ligaments that keep
our knee joint stable. MCL injuries occur because of a direct blow to the outside of our
knee during playing sports or in an accident.


LCL(Lateral Collateral Ligament) Injury:- LCL is a thin band of tissue that runs up the
inside of our knee. LCL injuries happen because of a blow to the inside of our knee,
which occur during sports, accidents, and falls.


2)  Arthritis

Arthritis is one of the chronic knee conditions that causes inflammation, stiffness, and
immense pain in our knee joints. Arthritis will eventually worsen with time if you fail to
get proper, timely treatment.


3)  Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is one of the mose severe types of arthritis. It deteriorates our cartilage,
a spongy material that works as a cushion between our knee bones. Deterioration of
cartilage results in abrasion between our knee bones that causes immense pain.
The main reasons behind osteoarthritis are past injury, weight, age, and genetics.


4)  Gout

Gout is also one of the different types of arthritis, which eventuate due to the build-up of
uric acid crystals in our joints. Gout significantly affects our knee, hip, fingers, and toe
and causes severe pain.


5)  Meniscus Tear

A meniscus tear occurs in our knee cartilage. Cartilage is a semi-hard rubbery substance
that acts as a cushion between our shinbone and thighbone. The main reason behind
meniscus tear is a sudden twist or turn that causes our cartilage to tear. Meniscus tear
usually happens because of sports or workout activities.


6)  Tendinitis

Tendinitis causes knee pain because of the tendons' inflammation that connects bone and
muscle. Inflammation of the tendon happens due to excessive use of a tendon. Tendinitis
befalls while doing different activities like running, jumping, climbing, or cycling.


7)  Fractures and Dislocations

direct blow to our knee bones, that damage our knee cap resulted in breaking or
dislocating knee bone. Fractures or dislocations happen because of falls, sports,
