Your knee is a complex joint that allows you to bend and straighten your leg. When any of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, or bones that make up the joint are damaged by injury or disease, it can result in knee pain.
Acute knee pain that lasts for less than six weeks is often the result of muscle strains, ligament strains, or other overuse injuries. Acute pain usually resolves with rest, ice therapy, and over-the-counter medications.
