Knee creaking and pain can be caused by patellofemoral arthritis, osteoarthritis of the knee and meniscus injury.
1. Patellofemoral arthritis: when patellofemoral arthritis occurs, patellofemoral articular cartilage can be worn out, and the patella and femoral cartilage rub against each other during activities, which can cause creaking and gurgling and can be accompanied by pain symptoms.
2. Osteoarthritis of the knee: when osteoarthritis of the knee occurs, it can cause damage to the meniscus cartilage, and when the knee flexes and extends, there can be pain and popping sound in the joint.
3. Meniscus injury: when the knee is sprained or impacted by external forces, it may lead to meniscus tear or rupture, etc., and the damaged meniscus may be jammed when the knee joint is moving, which may cause localized friction and popping and pain.
When the knee joint creaks and accompanied by pain symptoms, you should consult a doctor in a timely manner, under the guidance of a specialist to actively carry out appropriate treatment, which will help to alleviate the discomfort symptoms as soon as possible.
