Knee pain is defined as any sort of discomfort in the joint that connects your lower and upper leg bones. Knee pain may appear gradually over months or years or occur suddenly, depending on the cause.

When knee pain keeps you off the field or away from your errands, come to Riverview Health for a reliable diagnosis and treatment from our trusted orthopedic specialists.

Symptoms Associated with Knee Pain

Common symptoms that may occur with your knee pain include:

  • A buckling, locking, grinding or stiffening sensation
  • Localized redness, warmth or swelling
  • Muscle spasms
  • Pain in your calf, shin, ankle or thigh
  • Tingling, burning or prickling 

You should seek immediate care if your knee is deformed, you’re experiencing severe pain, you hear a popping sound during a knee injury, or you can’t put weight on your leg.

In rare cases, knee pain can be a sign of a life-threatening condition, such as deep vein thrombosis, which is a blood clot that can travel from your leg to your lung. Call 911 if you have chest pain and difficulty breathing along with knee pain.

Typical Causes of Knee Pain

Knee pain can be caused by a variety of factors that range from progressive joint deterioration and everyday overuse to sports injuries.
