Knee pain comes from either a sudden injury or an ongoing condition, and the cause shapes the treatment. Injuries happen during activity and tend to come on fast:

You can ease most mild knee pain with rest and simple self-care. The RICE method is the starting point: rest the joint, ice it for 20 minutes several times a day, apply a compression bandage, and elevate the leg.
Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen reduce pain and swelling. Switch to low-impact movement like swimming or cycling while you heal. Losing even a few pounds takes measurable pressure off the joint.
When self-care is not enough, a clinician treats knee pain based on its cause. Physical therapy strengthens the muscles around the joint and restores the range of motion. A provider may prescribe a stronger anti-inflammatory medication or recommend a corticosteroid injection to directly reduce inflammation in the joint.
For structural damage or advanced arthritis that does not respond to other care, surgical options range from arthroscopic repair to partial or total knee replacement.
