Knee Pain

Knee pain usually results from overuse, poor form during physical activity, not warming up or cooling down, or inadequate stretching. Knee pain can be extremely uncomfortable and often painful. Being overweight can put you at greater risk for knee problems.

Knee pain can be caused by:

• Arthritis -- including rheumatoid, osteoarthritis, and gout, or other connective tissue disorders like lupus.
• Bursitis -- inflammation from repeated pressure on the knee (like kneeling for long periods of time, overuse, or injury).
• Tendinitis -- a pain in the front of your knee that gets worse when going up and down stairs or inclines. Happens to runners, skiers, and cyclists.
• Baker's cyst -- a fluid-filled swelling behind the knee that may accompany inflammation from other causes, like arthritis. If the cyst ruptures, pain in the back of your knee can travel down your calf.
• Torn cartilage (a meniscus tear) -- can cause pain on the inside or outside of the knee joint.
• Torn ligament (ACL tear) -- can cause pain and instability of the knee.
• Strain or sprain -- minor injuries to the ligaments caused by sudden or unnatural twisting.
• Dislocation of the kneecap.
• Infection in the joint.
• Knee injuries -- can cause bleeding into your knee, which worsens the pain.
• Hip disorders -- may cause pain that is felt in the knee. For example, iliotibial band syndrome is injury to the thick band that runs from your hip to the outside of your knee.

"For as long as I can remember, I have suffered with pain in my knees and no matter how many hospitals, doctors or specialists I saw, their treatments were unsatisfactory and the problems remained (and got worse!). Now, forty years on I have found a solution to my problem - the X4000 has relieved me of the agony I have endured for so many years. The PainWave product has not eradicated the problem completely but I am able to walk further and for longer and so continue to use it as part of a daily treatment."
