Joint pain can be caused by a variety of causes, including: a tear in your cartilage (the tissue that cushions your knee joints) or by an injury to the joint itself (such as a sprained ankle or a broken bone). The pain may be so severe that you can’t walk or you may have to use crutches to help you walk.
