Knee pain: here’s why it happens, and how you can fix it

Global estimates suggest more than one in five people over the age of 40 have a form of chronic knee pain.

Key Points: 
  • Global estimates suggest more than one in five people over the age of 40 have a form of chronic knee pain.
  • But just because knee pain is common doesn’t mean you have to live with it.
  • No matter the cause, tackling knee pain is often relatively straightforward when you know what to do.
  • People with inflammatory arthritis such as gout or rheumatoid arthritis can have flare-ups that cause knee pain.

Managing pain

    • The best way of managing knee pain depends on the cause.
    • Keep strong and active: Strengthening the muscles around your knee will noticeably reduce pain and stiffness.
    • Modify your activities: Some people find pacing their activities (such as doing certain tasks when your knee pain isn’t as bad, or spacing out activities that you know may cause pain), using walking aids or wearing shoes with shock-absorbing soles (such as good trainers) to be useful.
    • But these changes may only make a small difference in managing knee pain.
    • If you find your knee pain is made worse by your work, you may also want to make some changes to the way you normally do things to help reduce pain.

Preventing pain

    • But if your knee pain is due to a problem such as a ruptured ligament or advanced osteoarthritis, knee surgery may be recommended.
    • For people with advanced osteoarthritis, operations such as total knee replacement can lead to big improvements in pain, ability to carry out daily activities and overall wellbeing.
    • GPs may recommend painkillers in some circumstances – for example if your knee pain is stopping you exercising.
