Knee pain can become more common with age as the cartilage and tissues supporting the knee gradually wear down. This may cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and difficulty with movement.

Common causes include osteoarthritis, reduced muscle strength, previous injuries, excess weight, and age-related joint changes. Pain may become noticeable while walking, climbing stairs, standing, or getting up from a chair.

Maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active, strengthening the muscles around the knee, and following appropriate exercises can help support joint health.

According to Dr. Susheel Sharma, Joint Replacement & Orthopedic Surgeon, early evaluation of persistent knee pain can help identify the cause and determine the right treatment.

If knee pain is affecting your daily activities, consult Dr. Susheel Sharma at Shree Medishine Hospital for personalized orthopedic care.
