Knee pain can be caused by cartilage wear and tear, overuse, injury or chronic diseases such as osteoarthritis. These factors affect joint health, causing pain, stiffness and inflammation. In addition, ageing and excess weight increase pressure on the joints, aggravating knee pain.

Common causes include ageing, overuse or injury, hormonal changes (especially in women), sedentary lifestyles, chronic diseases such as arthritis and obesity. These factors deteriorate cartilage, leading to inflammation and limited movement.

Yes, women are more likely than men to develop these problems, partly due to the hormonal changes we experience throughout life, such as those associated with the menopause. Decreasing oestrogen levels contribute to the loss of bone mass and cartilage, which negatively affects joint and bone health. Women are also more vulnerable to developing osteoarthritis and other inflammatory diseases. It is estimated that more than 60% of people with joint problems in Spain are women.

Common symptoms are joint pain, stiffness, loss of mobility, swelling and tenderness in the joints. These signs often worsen with movement or at the end of the day, affecting the ability to perform daily tasks.

To relieve knee pain, low-impact exercise, physiotherapy, maintaining a healthy weight, and applying cold or heat to the affected area are recommended. In addition, joint supplements and anti-inflammatory medications can help reduce pain and improve mobility.
