What Is Knee Pain?

What Is Knee Pain?

Knee pain refers to discomfort in or around the knee joint, which plays a key role in supporting movement and weight-bearing activities.

It can range from mild irritation to more noticeable pain that affects daily life.

  • Clicking, popping, or grinding sensations
  • Discomfort when going up or down stairs
