Knee pain for more than 20 days
For the past many months I have found that there is slight pain in my knee. But from last month it has been around for more than 20 days and the pain has become greater. Whenever I sit for a long time or I fold my legs.. my knee starts hurting like an older aged person suffers... Is that any major issue

Pain in the knee can have various causes, ranging from minor to major issues. It is difficult to determine the exact cause of your pain without a physical examination and additional tests. However, some probable causes and treatments are: Knee osteoarthritis: This is a common condition, especially in older adults. It occurs when the cartilage that cushions the knee joint wears down, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling. Treatment options include physical therapy, pain management, and surgery in severe cases. Ligament injury: Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect bones to each other. They can be injured due to sudden twisting, impact, or overuse. Symptoms include pain, swelling, instability, and difficulty in movement. Treatment options depend on the severity of the injury and may include rest, physical therapy, and surgery in some cases. Meniscus tear: The meniscus is a cartilage pad that cushions the knee joint. It can be torn due to sudden twisting or overuse. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and difficulty in movement. Treatment options depend on the severity of the tear and may include rest, physical therapy, and surgery in some cases. Patellofemoral pain syndrome: This condition occurs when the kneecap rubs against the thigh bone, leading to pain and discomfort. It is commonly seen in athletes and people who engage in physical activities that involve running or jumping. Treatment options include physical therapy, pain management, and surgery in severe cases. Rheumatoid arthritis: This is an autoimmune disease that affects the joints, including the knee joint. Symptoms include pain, swelling, stiffness, and deformity. Treatment options include medication, physical therapy, and surgery in some cases. It is important to consult a doctor or an orthopedic specialist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can try to rest your knee, apply ice packs, and take over-the-counter pain relievers to alleviate the pain. Also, avoid activities that aggravate the pain and try to maintain a healthy weight as excess weight can put additional stress on the knee joint.
