The joint is divided into three compartments

To understand knee joint pain in a better way, it is very important to know about the components of the knee. The femur, which is the thigh bone, and the tibia, which is the shin bone meet at knee joint. These are connected together by ligaments, and the knee cap covers the joint.

The joint is divided into three compartments, which are medial, lateral and the patellofemoral. The medial is the inner side of the knee, lateral is towards the outside of the knee, while the patellfemoral is the area behind the kneecap.

Synovial fluid is a liquid which lubricates the joints and provides it with essential nutrients. While the synovial fluid reduces friction between joints, it also acts as a shock absorber and ensures smooth functioning and movement of joints.

When there is a problem with any of the components of the knee, it can cause pain, and one of the reasons could be extended or intense physical activity. Nevertheless, one can be inflicted by knee joint pain irrespective of his levels of physical activity, and at any age.

The underlying causes of knee joint pain could be strains, ligament sprains, muscle tears or even meniscus within the joints. Alternately, knee joint pain may be caused by more severe conditions, which could be bone fractures, dislocation, or ailments like osteoarthritis.

With some regular activity and exercise, muscles around the knee joint strengthen, and if one's activity levels are lower, he could be more prone to knee joint pain. But it works both ways. If one is suffering from knee joint pain, it could be indicative that the knees might have been overworked, and activity levels must be reduced.
