Knee pain is a common issue that can result from a variety of causes, ranging from acute injuries to chronic conditions. The knee is a complex joint that plays a crucial role in supporting body weight and facilitating movement. Knee pain can significantly impact an individual's ability to perform daily activities and may be associated with a range of symptoms.
