Knee Pain

About Knee Pain Android App

Sudden pain in the knee is usually the result of overuse of the knee or injury there. In many cases you do not have to see your GP.

The knee joint is particularly vulnerable to damage and pain because it takes the full weight of your body and any extra force when you run or jump.

You are more likely to experience knee pain as you get older, and people who are overweight or many sports have a higher risk of damaging their knees. Some sports that involve a lot of turning, such as football, netball and skiing are at particularly high risk of knee injuries.
