Are you wondering why your knee hurts when you bend it? Dr. Couch, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in knee care, explains the most common causes of knee pain during flexion.

The top three reasons your knee hurts when you bend it -
1. Patellofemoral Syndrome: This is pain in the front of the knee, due to muscle imbalances. Usually improves with physical therapy.
2. Meniscus Tear: There's usually a history of twisting or popping, often accompanied by swelling. Sometimes requires surgery, but can often be resolved conservatively.
3. Degenerative Joint Disease: Also known as arthritis, this bone-on-bone contact causes pain and stiffness-especially in older adults.

Don't ignore knee pain - oftentimes it can be treated with early intervention.
