Unknown pain in knee.....?!

Question: Unknown pain in knee.....?

I've been having a pain in my right knee whenever i put pressure on it. It's like an intense burn/sting feeling. I've had it for a coupl of days. I play soccer(beginning of summer) and volleyball(before winter/ after summer), but recently I only have had gym activities. Any info would help? I don't think my mom will take me to a doctor either.

Answers:

There are numerous causes of knee problems. It is one of the most common complaints at practically all ages.

While knee pain has multiple causes, the most common is osteoarthritis, particularly in the older population. However, there are other conditions which can cause pain, such as meniscal cartilage tears and ligament injuries of the knee, or issues that affect blood circulation in the surrounding bone area, leading to a condition called osteonecrosis.
