  1. CAUSES OF KNEE PAIN https://sfwio.com/

  2. Overview A knee injury can affect any of the ligaments, tendons or fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that surround your knee joint as well as the bones, cartilage and ligaments that form the joint itself.

  3. ACL INJURY An ACL injury is a tear or sprain of the anterior cruciate (KROO-she-ate) ligament (ACL) — one of the strong bands of tissue that help connect your thigh bone (femur) to your shinbone (tibia). ACL injuries most commonly occur during sports that involve sudden stops or changes in direction, jumping and landing — such as soccer, basketball, football and downhill skiing.

  4. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of an knee injury usually include: A loud pop or a "popping" sensation in the knee Severe pain and inability to continue activity Rapid swelling Loss of range of motion A feeling of instability or "giving way" with weight bearing

  5. Risk Factor Excess Weight- Being overweight or obese increases stress on your knee joints, even during ordinary activities such as walking or going up and down stairs Lack of muscle flexibility or strength.- A lack of strength and flexibility can increase the risk of knee injuries.
