Can Medica Stem Cells Clinic in Ireland Address the Causes of Knee Pain?

 Knee pain usually occurs in the knee joint. There are multiple reasons for getting knee pain. The list includes different types of arthritis, injuries, mechanical problems, and other problems. 

This article highlights the list of causes of knee pain. In the end, we’ll explain how the Medica Stem Cells Clinic in Ireland can address these causes.

Types of arthritis:


More than a hundred different types of arthritis are prevalent. The different forms of arthritis that affect the knee are

  • Rheumatoid arthritis: This is a type of arthritis that can affect any joint in our body. This is a form of autoimmune case that is most devastating. This arthritis mainly affects the knee.

  • Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is the most common wear-and-tear arthritis. In this condition, the knee cartilage weakens with age and overuse.

  • Septic arthritis: In this case, you’ll develop an infection on your knee joint. Hence, there will be inflammation, pain, and redness. Usually, this comes with a fever and before the pain starts. Mainly septic arthritis damages the knee cartilage.

  • Gout: Gout develops due to the build-up of uric acid crystals in the joint. Mostly the big toe gets affected. But it can also develop in the knee.

  • Pseudogout: This happens because calcium-containing crystals get formed in the knee joint fluid. This is often mistaken for gout.


Injuries:


An injury to the knee can damage the ligaments, cartilage, and bones. All this together forms the joint. An injury can also damage the tendons, ligaments, or fluid-filled sacs that surround the knee joint. The general knee injuries are

  • Torn meniscus: The meniscus comprises hard, rubbery cartilage between your thighbone and shinbone. It functions as a shock absorber. Due to a sudden twist on your knee, while carrying weight, it can tear.

  • ACL injury: A tear of the anterior cruciate ligament is called an ACL injury. It is one of the four ligaments that join your thighbone with the shinbone. People who play basketball, soccer, or other sports requiring a sudden change in direction are prone to get this.

  • Knee bursitis: Knee bursitis occurs when the small sac of fluid bursae cushions the knee joint gets inflamed.

  • Patellar tendinitis: In the case of tendinitis, there will be inflammation in one or more tendons. Tendons are the thick fibrous tissues that connect the bones to the muscles. People involved in jumping sports like cyclists, skiers, and runners are prone to get this.

Mechanical problems


  • Dislocated kneecap: The triangular bone names patella covers the knee front slip out of place in this condition. This situation can lead to dislocation.

  • Loose body: An erosion or injury of bone or cartilage can break off a piece of bone or cartilage. This broken piece will float in the joint space. In this condition, if it interferes with the knee movement, it can create any problem.

  • Hip or foot pain: A pain on the hip or the foot can change the way you walk. Hence, it can lead to more stress on your knee cap. This hip or foot problem can cause knee pain.

  • Iliotibial band syndrome: In this condition, the tough band of tissue called the iliotibial band becomes so tight and rubs against the femur. It stretches from the outside of your knee to the outside of your hip. Generally, cyclists and runners are more prone to get iliotibial band syndrome.

Other problems


In the case of Patellofemoral pain syndrome, pain arises between the underlying thighbone and the kneecap. Generally, it is common in athletes. But patellofemoral pain syndrome can affect many elders with arthritis.

Many factors can increase your chances of having knee problems. They are:

  • Lack of muscle strength or flexibility

  • Having obese or overweight

  • History of past injury

  • Selected occupations or sports like running, jogging, basketball’s jumps, and pivots, or alpine skiing

  • When there is a motor vehicle collision or fall, the knee cap with the knee bone can get broken. Even osteoporosis patients will experience the weakening of their bones.
