What Causes Persistent Pain In Knees?

Hello, Earlier this week, i began having pain in both of my knees. I am a 25 year old female and have not experienced any knee injuries. In the morning I wake up stiff and by the time I go to bed I am in pain, sometimes extreme. I have been trying heat pads with no relief. I have also been off work for the last couple of weeks and have been mostly resting and performing normal activity, nothing strenuous. The pain is persistent and sometimes achy. I have trouble if I sit for too long. I also have troubles sitting in general near the end of the day. It is constant pain. One usually more so than the other. What could this be?

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.

Also, as the pain is in the knee joint which is a stiff kind of felling a clinical Musculoskeletal assessment is advised. post which if needed than the MRI or x-ray of the knee will be advised.

Usually, the pain can be due to any factor for which an assessment is needed . Post which, with simple medication and physical therapy you should be back to work.

strengthening the muscles are will help improve the knee biomechanics and also help further on a long run.
