Knee injury

The knee is one of the most important joints in the human body. It supports our weight and allows us to walk, run, jump, and move effectively. For the same reason, it is one of the joints that suffers the most and has the highest risk of damage to our bodies.

Risk Factors

Overweight: This increases the strain on the knee joints even with simple walking. It also raises the risk of osteoarthritis by accelerating the breakdown of joint cartilage.

Lack of flexibility or muscle strength: Lack of strength and flexibility can increase the risk of knee injuries. Strong muscles help stabilize and protect the joints, while muscle flexibility can help achieve full range of motion.

Certain sports: Some sports put more stress on the knees than others: alpine skiing, with rigid ski boots and potential falls, jumps, and turns in basketball, and the repeated impact that knees absorb when running or jogging, all increase the risk of knee injuries.

Home Care

Simple causes of knee pain usually relieve themselves. If knee pain is caused by an accident or injury, you should see your doctor.

If your knee pain has just started and is not severe, you can:

• Rest and avoid activities that cause pain. Avoid putting weight on the knee.
• Apply ice regularly to reduce pain and inflammation.
• Keep the knee elevated as much as possible to reduce swelling.
• Use an elastic bandage or knee sleeves, which can be bought at most pharmacies. This can reduce swelling and provide support.

Consult your doctor if:

• You cannot bear weight on the knee.
• You experience intense pain, even when not bearing weight.
• The knee buckles, makes a popping sound, or locks.
• Your knee appears deformed or misshapen.
• You cannot bend or straighten your knee fully.
• You have fever, redness, or warmth around the knee, or significant swelling.
• You have pain, swelling, numbness, tingling, or bluish coloring in the calf below the painful knee.
• You still have pain after 3 days of home treatment.
