Knee: a wonder of nature. Unlike the shoulder or hip joint which provide some degree of stability from the bone structure, the knee depends 100% on ligaments, muscles, tendons and cartilage to hold everything together. This is why the knee is so prone to injury when external forces and stresses are applied (i.e. torque, compression etc.)—Dr. Kessler

Knee pain can come from an inflammatory condition such as arthritis, bursitis, or tendonitis. It can also be the result of a sprain or strain, dislocated kneecap, injury to the cartilage tissue in the knee, (called the meniscus), or any number of conditions particular to the knee. Knee pain can even be a symptom of gout, or may be caused by disorders of other parts of the body such as the hip. Conditions involving the knee can be minor disorders or bigger problems requiring serious medical attention.
