This is a result of an accumulation of uric acid in the left knee joint. Crystals are formed by the uric acid in the joint. It usually causes severe and burning pain as well as redness, swelling, and warmth in the area.
The knee is a complex joint that comprises three different bones. The first is the lower thighbone, the second is the upper shinbone, and the third is the kneecap. All of these bones are held together by very strong tendons and ligaments. Cartilage is also present beneath the kneecap and it functions as a cushion for the bones and also to help in stabilizing the knee.
It is also most common among sports people as well as those who have to run or jump a lot on their jobs. The pain is usually dull and becomes sharp when there is activity.
No doubt, left knee pain is very discomforting and unpleasant and it has come up as one of the conditions with the highest medical complaints. An upside about this condition is that it can be treated very easily.
Arthralgia (from Greek arthro-, joint + -algos, pain) literally means joint pain; it is a symptom of injury, infection, illnesses (in particular arthritis) or an allergic reaction to medication.
