Types of Acute knee pain

If your ligaments are torn, or your bones are dislocated or broken, acute knee pain often occurs. If you have a fracture, you may suddenly swell, be painful, and be unable to put any weight on your limbs. If you are dislocated, your knee may become deformed and swollen, and you will feel extreme pain. A torn ligament can cause joint instability. If the knee locks in place, the meniscus may be injured. Sudden swelling, pain, and redness without obvious damage may be infection or gout. All these conditions require immediate medical attention, because if left untreated, it may cause knee disability.
