Did you know that 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, which negatively impacts their quality of life, sleep quality, and mood? Chronic knee pain is the number one complaint of all people with a chronic disease. Many conditions can cause knee pain, such as old injuries and arthritis, but chronic pain is typically caused by structural issues in your joints. Luckily, you don’t have to live with it! Clearway Pain Solutions can help relieve your chronic knee pain, regain functionality and function, and enjoy all that life has to offer. In this article, you will learn about its symptoms and causes and how Clearway Pain Solutions’ comprehensive treatments can help improve your quality of life.
Chronic knee pain is an issue that an estimated 30 million Americans of all ages deal with. The knee is one of the most complex joints in the body. It consists of three bones: the femur, tibia, and patella (kneecap). In addition, two menisci (a fibrous disc that sits between the bones) and many ligaments help keep this massive joint together. As humans age, conditions such as osteoarthritis and arthritis can start causing pain.
Chronic knee pain is often an end-stage result of these conditions, which usually worsens and becomes more widespread over time. It may last more than six months and increase in severity over time. It often occurs after a person has suffered an injury or surgery to the knee or long-term damage to joints, muscles, or nerves. Common symptoms include constant swelling around the joint, limited mobility, decreased range of motion, sensitization, and adaptation issues, which means your body changes how it responds to the stimulus.
Temporary knee pain is different from chronic knee pain. When a person suffers an injury or accident, the pain or discomfort is usually temporary and goes away once the initial cause of has been treated. However, chronic knee pain lingers on and isn’t always attributable to one incident—it can be caused by many factors over time.
