Diseases associated with knee pain

• Becker's cyst. If, in addition to pain, swelling of the popliteal fossa occurs, it looks like a disease – Becker's cyst.

From the inside, the joint is covered with a sheath that produces lubrication, if the sheath is inflamed, fluid is released. There is pressure on the shell, it swells. Behind the knee joint, a little higher, a seal is formed – a cyst, noticeable when the limbs are extended.

The disease often occurs in people over 40 years of age. The cyst is accompanied by pain, numbness, tingling, and problematic flexion of the toes.

For diagnosis, ultrasound, MRI are done. Treatment consists of injections with anti-inflammatory drugs, special knee pads sold in orthopedic salons, and restrictions on physical activity. In difficult cases, a puncture is made – pumping out fluid, administering an anti-inflammatory drug. In advanced cases, the cyst is removed by surgery.

• Meniscus cyst. The touch is not diagnosed. Pain behind the knee. The diagnosis is made after a comprehensive examination. The cause of the disease is an excessive load on the joint. Athletes often suffer from this. The cyst is treated with anti-inflammatory and painkillers.
• Meniscus tear. Appears with a sharp movement of the joint.Если болит под коленом – это явный признак повреждения.
• Нарушение связки.

Связки составляют мягкую ткань подколенной ямки, они напряжены при сильных физических нагрузках. Травмы связок ведут к сильной подколенной боли, отёчности. Часто встречается у ребёнка.

В отличие от кисты Бейкера, при надавливании отёк не уменьшается, боль носит тянущий характер. Главное лечение – покой. Также противовоспалительное лечение, ношение надколенника, физиопроцедуры. Правильное лечение, реабилитация восстановят сухожилия и связки.

• Гнойно-воспалительные заболевания.

Если в рану ниже колена, в области голеностопа, попала инфекция, возникает абсцесс, сопровождающийся болью. Инфекция проникает в лимфоузлы, воспаляющиеся и увеличивающиеся в размерах. Устраняют боль хирургическим вмешательством, вскрытием гнойника.

Лимфатические узлы расположены глубоко, покраснения и отёчности нет. Есть тянущая боль.

• Нервно-сосудистые заболевания. В подколенной ямке, чуть выше, проходит связка сосудов и нервов, воспаляющиеся, причиняя боли при разгибании. Если боль отдаёт в стопу, значит, у пациента воспалился большеберцовый нерв. Пульсирующая боль сзади колена связана с нарушением артерии. Приложив руку ниже колена, почувствуете пульсацию. Не спутайте заболевание артерии с заболеванием кисты Бейкера. Встречается заболевание, называемое тромбоз подколенной вены. Выявляется ультразвуковым исследованием сосудов.
• Varicose. Возникает, когда сосуды теряют пропускную способность, начинают расширяться. Возникают судороги в области ниже колена, появляются синие вены, видимые выше и ниже коленного сустава.

Лечение направлено на укрепление стенок сосудов, выявление причины заболевания. Применяются лекарства, мази. При сложных случаях помогает операция – иссечение вены.

Чтобы исключить тромб, сделайте УЗИ сосудов, обратитесь к флебологу. Тромбофлебит – вещь серьёзная, создаётся ощущение, что тянет гиря вниз, появляется тяжесть в ногах. Не медлите с этим.

Кроме этих заболеваний, боли способствуют причины:

• травмы вследствие ушибов;
