Injury: If your knee hurts fopr a short time, under a month, it is probably an accute injury and will get better with rest . If longer it may be arthritis. See your personal provider for further evaluation.

It depends: Knee pain can be a torn cartilage or arthritis. If it hurts getting up from a chair or going dwon the stairs, you may have patella chondromalacia, an irregularity in the surface of the back of the kneecap. For every pound someone is overweight its an extra 4 lbs. On the knee, so this can make a small problem hurt worse. To know what is going on you probably need an x-ray and possibly an mri.

On July 25 I fell on my knee hitting it pretty hard. It was painful. Ice helped. It did not turn black or blue. It swelled slightly but after a day of walking around no more swelling. I could walk ok. Now if I barely graze my knee it is so painful?
