Osteoarthritis: Chronic pain in the knee is most commonly from osteoarthritis. This is "wear and tear" arthritis, from worn surfaces in the knee. Most commonly, this can be treated with anti-inflammatory medications, local measures such as ice. Consideration can be given to injections such as cortisone as well.
