Common Symptoms of Hip & Knee Pain
Symptoms will vary from person to person and may also change over the years. Some patients feel continuous pain, while others may only experience it frequently.
Get in touch with a pain specialist if you experience any of the following symptoms:
- Tenderness or swelling in and around the knee/hip
- Stiffness
- Inability to straighten the leg
- Popping, crunching, and clicking sounds when you move or bend your knee/hip
- Fever, which can be a sign of infection
What Causes Pain?
Just like other types of pain in the joints around the body, hip and knee pains can have many causes. The most common is trauma from accidents or injuries from sports.
This may be due to corrupted bones or soft tissue in different areas, such as:
- Tendons
- Ligaments
- Cartilage
- Bursae
