Knee pain is a common complaint among Americans and affects all ages, but often for different reasons. In younger people, knee pain is usually the result of an injury, such as a sprained ligament, tendinitis or torn cartilage. In older people, medical conditions such arthritis, gout and infections are more common causes of knee pain.[1] Most types of knee pain can be managed at home with self-care treatments; however, in some cases, medical intervention is needed, including surgical repair.
