Knee pain points, sometimes not meniscus or cartilage damage. Many soft tissue injuries around the knee can also cause pain. Today teach you how to distinguish.
Let me talk about the pain on the outer side of the knee. The most common one is iliotibial band syndrome. The reason is that when you are running excessively, this particularly thick tendon on the outer thigh is called the iliotibial band. It is painful due to inflammation caused by the friction back and forth on the bones. How can we tell? We can bend the knee 45 degrees, at this time you will feel obvious pain on the outside of the knee.
There are generally two reasons for the pain on the inner side of the knee, one is bursitis of the goose foot, and the other is the injury of the inner collateral ligament. Goose foot bursitis is common in middle-aged and elderly people or sports enthusiasts when the symptoms are most obvious when going up and down stairs. Medial collateral ligament injury is caused by sprains and trauma.
Pain above the knee is generally a problem of quadriceps tendinitis. It usually manifests as flexion and extension of the knee joint by pressing the upper part of the patella with your hand, or there may be obvious pain. There are three common causes of pain below the knee, 1 patellar tendonitis , 2 osteochondrotisitis of the tibial tubercle, and 3 inflammation of the fat pad under the patella. Pain in the front of the knee often indicates that there is a problem with our patella. The most common is patella malacia. This disease is that the cartilage of the deceased is worn out, and it is not softened as you understand. Patella malacia is when the knee is bent. There will be pain in the front of the knee, which is obvious when we squat. Pain behind the knee is a common popliteal cyst , which has a slight soreness and swelling at the same time as the pain. Are you clear?
When our doctor is seeing a doctor, he can treat you not just by hearing your knee pain. To grasp the cause of the pain, you need to analyze and infer your detailed condition before you can take targeted treatment. Just one knee joint, its disease classification is very many, different symptoms, different patient physiques, our treatment methods and prescriptions are different,That's why it is necessary to watch, hear, and inquire, and dialectical treatment is the truth.
