Knee pain varies depending on the structure involved. For instance, an inflammatory or an
infection might cause the entire knee to be swollen while a fracture or a torn meniscus on the
bone will concentrate the pain in a single location. A knee joint pain can manifest as a minor ache
or a serious and disabling pain. Some of the symptoms of knee pain include the following;
 Limping caused by discomfort in the pain
 Challenges with walking and weight bearing led by knee instability
 Difficulty when climbing stairs
 Inability to bend, extend, or lock the knee
 Swelling and redness of the knee
 Weight shifting to the other foot
