our Knee pain may be Tendinitis and not Arthritis
Knee is supported on either side by two strong fibrous bands called ligaments. There are also two ligaments within the joint space called cruciate ligaments holding the two joint bones firmly together . Wrapped around the joint is an inner moist covering called the synovial membrane-hence called a synovial joint. Outside the moist membrane is the capsule and the ligaments are adhered to the capsule. In front is the strong ligament holding the knee cap (patella) and inserted to a mound (tuberosity) of the upper end of the tibia. These tendons can get inflamed due to repetitive strains and we call it 'Tendinitis'.
