Understanding Chronic Knee Pain

What's the most common cause of chronic knee pain?

People often ask me, "How do I stop constant knee pain?". My first question back is usually what are you doing to aggravate your knee? Did you have an accident? Is there an old sports injury? Did your parents have arthritis? Do you exercise regularly? Are you overweight? All of these and more are solid reasons to have chronic knee pain There are so many ways that someone can have chronic knee pain.
