There are several things that can cause knee pain, muscular, tendon, joint and meniscus to name a few, which can all have an effect on daily activities. The pain can be felt around the kneecap, on the inside of the knee, the back or the outside, which may or may not be down to injury. Knee pain can also be due to referral from issues with the hip or the lower back.
Some of the most common causes can be osteoarthritis, tendinopathy or a meniscal tear. Feel free a video we made on meniscal tears and whether you need surgery for it.
