Knee pain is a common complaint that affects people of all ages. Knee pain may be the result of an injury, such as a ruptured ligament or torn cartilage. Medical conditions such as arthritis, gout and infections also can cause knee pain. Knee pain becomes more common as we get older and there is a higher risk of getting knee pain if you are overweight.
