Common knee symptoms

Your knees do a lot for you. Whether you are standing, sitting, running, climbing stairs, you may not think about them until sometimes changes. Understand some common symptoms associated with a knee condition, such as:

• Localized knee pain (anterior, medial, lateral, or posterior) – May be described as aching, sharp, stabbing, or throbbing
• Swelling due to fluid accumulation
• Redness and warmth – Suggests inflammation or possible infection
• Decreased range of motion (ROM) – Limited flexing or extension
• Grinding, popping, or crackling sensation with movement
• Joint line tenderness – Often associated with cartilage damage
• Mechanical symptoms – Locking, catching, or instability
• Pain with weight-bearing activities – Increases while walking, squatting, kneeling, or stair climbing
• Discoloration of skin – Bruising associated with acute trauma
• Radiating pain – May extend to the thigh or lower leg
