Why Your Knee Hurts. Knee Pain Types By Location & Description.

Knee pain location can often tell you what type of knee pain you have. If you confirm that with common symptoms and what aggravates it… you can get a pretty good idea of ‘why my knee hurts’. So, here’s a quick look at the most common type of knee problems.

If you’re asking yourself ‘what’s the cause of my knee pain?’ or ‘what kind of knee pain do I have?’ (so that you can look up solutions to your knee pain on KZbin) the position of your knee pain will tell you a lot.
THE MOST COMMON KNEE PAIN TYPES?
Knee pain during running (or actually kneecap pain while running) is usually just that… Runner’s Knee (PATELLOFEMORAL PAIN SYNDROME, or it’s old name: Chondromalacia Patella) If you get knee pain while cycling it will often be the same thing. Same with knee pain with stairs.
Knee pain while squatting could be Runner’s Knee, but if you get pain in the tendon below the kneecap, it’s more likely to be Patellar Tendonitis or Jumper’s Knee.
Meniscus Tears will give you pain on the inside of the knee that is a localised pain, can feel as if it gets stuck, or feel like it’s going to give way, and often it’s hard to fully straighten or fully bend your knee.
Knee pain on the outside of the knee is usually Iliotibial Band Syndrome
ALSO COVERED:
Infrapatellar Fat Pad Syndrome (Hoffa's Syndrome)
Osgood-Schlatter Disease
Medial Collateral Ligament Tear
Iliotibial Band Syndrome
Osteoarthritic Knee Pain
Pes Anserine Bursitis.
Quadriceps Tendinopathy
Popliteus Strain
Baker’s Cyst
ACL Or PCL Tear/Rupture

[@mburkitt7678]

Thank you for a concise explanation of the possibilities. I wouldn't say any of these match mine, though. I have always been active through sports and outdoor activities, so at age 60+ my joints have seen their share of use. I have noticeable general swelling across the knee above the joint, stiffness to the point of limited motion, and a pain throughout the joint when under stress to the point I no longer trust a natural stride on stairs. An orthopedic surgeon took x-rays and diagnosed reduced cartilage to a point of near bone-on-bone and the associated joint irritation. I don't understand though the soft tissue issues surrounding the joint.

[@BodyFixExercises]

General swelling, stiffness, and general pain certainly sounds like osteoarthritis. This puts stress on the local soft tissue, for sure, and can result in inflammation too. Osteoarthritis is hard to help. Decreasing any foot over-pronation, and any reduced ankle mobility, might help.

@@Msteez I used boards to angle my feet to 25 degrees (more or less) and did squats that way, bout 15 x 3 sets a day to start and did some quad extensions on a machine at the gym mostly.

Am 36 btw and worked out/did sports my entire life so knee pain is not unusual but I would prefer to not have it if at all possible...

Try to stretch and strength while stretched, your iliopsoas and your quads mostly the rectus femoris. you can thank me later ;) while you hurt your back your hip had to tighten up, so in the front thats regulated alot from the rectus femoris. which also is the cause of most knee problems around the front of the knee. jumpers knee, knee pain above patella etc.

I was diagnosed after many many years with PFS. The best way to describe the pain is like my knee caps are burning when I do squats, walk up stairs etc. I workout but find leg days challenging when they include lots of squats, lunges etc. Working on strengthening my glutes and abductors (outside ones?) as they are weak and my previous physio said that was contributing to the pain. Definitely quad dominant, although they also hurt during some exercises. Not to mention my right knee sounds like a bowl of rice crispies whenever I have to squat down for anything lol. Just need to find some exercises to help strengthen now which don't take too long as my schedule is already busy!

One gave me an mri when I was 28 and found a "small meniscus tear that should heal on it's own" and it's never been 100% since then, better after researching PT options doing daily strengthening exercises but never 100%. Recently I experienced new sharper pain above the knee cap and your description of quadriceps tendonitis matches what I was read already.

[@DAjugRnaut]

The meniscus tear is exactly what I have thought I had for years. I fell directly on my knee and heard a pop. This was in 2010. I didn’t have insurance so I never got it checked out. I have a physical job so that knee hurt for about a year. Over the years of strength training it, it only bothers me maybe once a month depending on my activity levels. I even have done multiple half marathon and 1 marathon on it and it’s been not bad. One day I think I’ll have it confirmed with an MRI if it ever gets worse. That spot inside the knee is where the pain originates. Often at night if my leg pillow doesn’t stay in between there that spot will be sore.

Thanks for the video, ive been wondering what was wrong with my right knee.I bent down one day, went to stand up and my knee was stuck so I kinda kicked it out straight and it hurt a little, nothing terrible. It lingered though and happened 2 more times in the next couple months. It eventually went away to the point where I forgot about it, so I joined a jiu jitsu class and literally the first time I bent down my knee locked up so I once again kinda kicked it out but I did as discretely as possible bc it was embarrassing to be the new guy and cant straighten his leg before he gets to practice anything! Needless to say I quit after that and now Im pretty much good to go.

However I trained a ladies soccer team, which included a number of nurses and they taught me what the muscle was that was hurting and how to prepare it for competition. I believe that being on my side for the surgery, the muscle was overstretched for the length of the surgery causing the pain.

But being under 55 yrs i am glad i have managed this far without knee replacements. When spotted early enough it could have not gotten this bad as releasing tendons would have allowed the knee cap to be on the correct place. But thanks to general doctors if they don't know where/what to look for they tend to classify it as mental problem. Maybe not everywhere but these kind of diagnoses are given often in Finland. Sadly.

Thanks so much for this video, just seen it. 38yr old UK male, had knee MRI 2018 (nothing to see I’m told other than age appropriate wear and tear). Had to stop running five years ago due to awful pain on joint line inner edge, both knees. Ran all my life, was doing two 10ks a week in 2018 after a three year pause and then after three months, bang, unable to walk due to pain and eventually realised it was the running/knees. Stopped that and it went gradually. Have cycled ever since which is fine but doctors told me at the time that it was bursitis - yes the PES was a bit sore but nothing like the whole meniscus. I’d love to be able to run again as the cycling does nothing for my bone density. Interested if you had any pointers.

[@BodyFixExercises]

For inner knee pain like that, on both sides, at your age, with clear MRI... I'd be looking at your feet and hips. These three things will cause inner knee pain: 1. Foot over pronation 2. Restricted ankle movement 3. Glute Medius weakness These 2 videos cover all three of those things... kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWLRfWloirebmqc kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHewlJ6cgLKIecU

I've been dealing with various knee issues since I was 12. I couldn't remember the names of them but your video identified them nicely. I progressed from Osgood-Schlatter Disease to Patellar Tendonitis to Pes Anserine Bursitis and knee surgery and led to Patellar tracking disorder and Osteoarthritic Knee Pain with the occasional burst of Quadriceps Tendinopathy mixed inbetween. I thought I had had it all but this video shows there's a few issues yet to appear on my knee pain bingo card.

Omg it helped thank u sooooo much I was having a hard time due to runners knee and i couldnt even walk properly for days but now I feel much better

[@BodyFixExercises]

Awesome! (I gather your watched my Runner's knee video?)

[@jerdog333]

I have almost everything you mentioned. Thank you for explaining that. One of my biggest problems is the back of my knee. If I stretch too much with my knee fully straight, it feels like I almost pulled the back of my knee like a pulled muscle, and it will last for a few hours, or days. Then it's like nothing happened until my next yoga class. Any advice would be great, other than quit doing yoga. haha

[@BodyFixExercises]

Sounds like a Gastrocnemius strain (muscle or tendon) which is the calf muscle that crosses the back of the knee. Just look up "Gastrocnemius Rehab" on KZbin.

[@topshelf0056]

I am a ice hockey player and slid into the boards very hard with knees first. A week later I noticed that on top of the knee cap it was almost a tingly burning feeling playing basketball. Playing ice hockey it doesn’t hurt when playing but it does when I fall on my knees. Also, anything that impacts that spot hurts pretty bad and kinda feel that burning feeling too but only for a few seconds. I didn’t feel this till a week after the collision. It’s been hurting for about 3 weeks but has got slightly better. This is on my left knee. Any idea what this could be?

[@BodyFixExercises]

Probably Bursitis. Bursa a little sacs of fluid that sit over the knee to stop the tendons from rubbing too much. The impact probably inflamed them. There are various bursa. So, for example, depending on location you make have a bit of Prepatellar Bursitis or Infra patellar bursitis or supra patellar bursitis

[@deansiephillips437]

Hey Doc Thanks for the video. As far as I manage to understand I have the pain just below the patella tendon at the point it joins with the patella (lower side) and I have problems in my angle (same leg) while I squat it feels tight (my best guess is mobility issue) and I have some stiffness where my femur joins with my pelvis (maybe because of sitting too long with bad posture) I took Vitamin-D with Calcium as it was suggested by an orthopedic but It didn't help. He did some x-rays of my knee and concluded my bones are in good shape and there isn't hairline crack or something of that sort. Is this a mobility issue which can be fixed with exercises? any help will be appreciated and Thanks for the content on KZbin.

[@BodyFixExercises]

It's hard to say without examining it, but it sounds like the knee issue is coming from the ankle or the hip. This is very common. (Also be aware that flat feet could be the cause.) Definitely do the ankle mobility exercises at the 0:34 mark of this video... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKiXdqmLeqZ4sJY Weak lateral stabilising gluteal muscles in another big possibility so try the exercises in this video... kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2Wbloxpi9GEfJY There's a good chance that between those two videos you could find your solution. Good luck!

I had extremely intense, sudden knee pain - to the point I couldn’t walk to toilet close by. Went to ER via ambulance - was in surgery within 5 hours of arriving. Was septic arthritis. Was in hospital for 15 days on IV antibiotics. Still feeling the effects 6 mths later

After exercise to strengthen ankles which worked amazing. Developed clicking inside left knee. Carried on playing football twice a week through pain. Right knee then feels tight, painful above knee & grinding. Assuming right knee compensating for left. I can no longer play football for 8 weeks. I’m going to try your exercises for upper knee pain 🤞

Thanks for the useful info sir ..I have knee pain in medial side of my knees .and also front part ..but as u said in 1st ptellofemoral syndrome there is slight pain while sqauting too also little sound coming while flexing knee...usually it had subsided but again started after long standing ..can it b due to more weight?also after long hours of cross sitting also there is pain while extending legs which used to b not thr earlier 🙂any advice would be great 😇

[@BodyFixExercises]

Extra weight certainly isn't going to help. Sitting with your legs crossed pushes the kneecap into the bones underneath, so definitely start there. I couldn't say more without examining it sorry

Baker’s cysts don’t necessarily show as puffy. I had the surgery and the surgeon couldn’t get over how extremely large it was nor could the woman that did the ultra sound, she kept saying it was like a lake, but no sign when looking at the back of my knee. Apparently 15% of ppl that have the correction done will have it reoccur and I unfortunately was one of those 😞

[@BodyFixExercises]

Yes, Baker's cysts can be deceptively large. Are you going to get another surgery on it?

[@LAStars-sratS]

@@BodyFixExercises and they sometimes aren’t detectable from looking....no swelling. I’ve found I can ease the problem on my own and I’m not vaccinated so they wouldn’t let me in the hospital even if I wanted. I do wonder if sitting too much and having circulation impaired by chair or from crossing legs isn’t part of the problem.

[@creativegirl9710]

My husband has a large odd lumpy thing on the back of his calf. I suspect it's a cyst. It's never bothered him and he's a runner. He doesn't see it because he doesn't look at the back of his leg. It would bother me, Lol.

It sounds like a version of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, so it should be quite fixable. Here's my video on how to fix it... kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWHUnquVZcqhd6M Your Rectus Femoris muscle may be very tight too, pressing your kneecap onto your knee, especially in the flexed position. So you should try to relax that muscle, and loosening the knots, with the techniques shown in this video (I've put the timestamp to take you to the right part of the video) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJq1hI1th5eMl6c Using a muscle massage gun on the Rectus Femoris too. (I have a video on using a massage gun on the legs too). Hope that helps.

I just hurt my left knee playing tennis.. I stretched out my left left and went down on my left knee to hit a deckhand and got a SHARP pain through my leg and to my knee, it felt kind of like it locked up or was just EXTREMELY tense and it was really painful. Then I had to do another backhand and I did the same thing and my knee just gave weight and I couldn't support my body weight or put any weight on my left leg, I could barely bend it. I couldn't serve or do more than a 40% bend without having extremely sharp pain. Do I have a tear or what could this be? Pain feels like location wise inside and a bit to the right of the middle of the knee (stretched out it's in the "holes" to the right of the knee cap right at the bottom towards your body)

Twisted my left knee several years back and developed knee side pains, gradually I recovered from that when again I twisted my left knee some 18 months ago getting out of the car. This time the pain on the inside of the knee was severe, couldn't sleep with my knees together for many months, recently the pain has subsided but now have a niggling pain in front of the knee just below the knee cap, noticeable when getting up from a chair or climbing the stairs. My walking is now impaired due to not being able to bend my left leg in a stride. Hopefuly exercises will eventually rid me of my final pain and restore my correct walking style.

[@BodyFixExercises]

Sounds like quite a journey! And sounds like that left knee needs some rehab. Good luck with it George!
