The knee is the largest joint in the body and carries a tremendous load with every step. It relies on cartilage, the meniscus, ligaments, and tendons working together. When any of these structures are injured, inflamed, or worn down, the result can be pain, swelling, stiffness, or instability. Because the knee is linked to the hips, ankles, and feet, problems elsewhere can also affect how it feels and functions.
