Knee problems are very common because the joint is so easily injured.

Most people have either twisted, jammed, or torn something in their knee at some point in their life. It's at that point that you realize how important your knee joints are, and start scrambling around the Internet searching for how to relieve knee pain, naturally.

Over time the pain from a knee injury goes away, but its function is never the same. Eventually the malfunctioning joint becomes hyper-mobile or "sloppy" and wears out unevenly. Then the pain and swelling returns as the joint slowly self-destructs.

Before I can answer how to relieve knee pain, I first must determine what the real reason for the knee pain is. Based on the type of knee pain, you will have to change your approach to relieving it.
