Why Does Knee Pain Keep Coming Back?

Knee pain that repeatedly returns usually signals an underlying mechanical or degenerative issue rather than a temporary strain. Patients often ignore early symptoms until mobility becomes difficult, making timely assessment essential.

Common Causes

• Early osteoarthritis

• Meniscus wear

• Ligament instability

• Muscle imbalance

When It Becomes Concerning

Persistent morning stiffness, swelling, locking, or inability to bear weight should not be ignored.

How It’s Evaluated

Clinical examination + X-ray + sometimes MRI based on severity.

Management Approach

Strengthening, anti-inflammatory protocols, weight alignment, and advanced treatments depending on the grade.
