Knee pain: the six causes that produce it and how to relieve it
5. Patella tendinitis. Tendinitis causes irritation and inflammation in one or more tendons, which are the dense, fibrous tissues that attach muscle to bone. This inflammation can occur when there is an injury to the patellar tendon, which extends from the kneecap (patella) to the tibia and allows kicking, running and jumping. People who run, ski, cycle, or sports and activities that involve jumping can get patellar tendinitis.
6. Osteoarthritis: This degenerative disease is also known as “wear and tear” osteoarthritis and is common in middle-aged people. It is characterized by generating a lot of pain in the knee, having a slow development and pain that worsens over time.
