1. Knee pain is a common complaint that affects people of all ages. 2. Knee pain may be the result of an injury, such as a ruptured ligament or torn cartilage. Medical conditions including arthritis, patellar tendinitis, acl injury, knee bursitis, torn meniscus, gout and infections also can cause knee pain. 3. Treatment will depend on the type and severity of the injury. Avoid putting weight on the injured knee as much as possible. Raise the leg with cushions and use an ice pack or bag of frozen veg wrapped in a towel held to the knee. 4. If knee pain is severe consult doctor. A doctor will carry out a physical examination of the injured knee and may arrange some extra tests, including blood tests, an x-ray or mri scan. Treatment may involve physiotherapy, painkillers and sometimes an arthroscopy - a form of keyhole surgery that is used to look inside a joint and repair any damage that has occurred.
