nivelvaivo

Nivelvaivo is a term used to describe pain in the knee. This pain can arise from a variety of causes, including injuries, overuse, and underlying medical conditions. Common sources of nivelvaivo include ligament tears, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries, as well as meniscus tears, which are common in athletes and older individuals. Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease, is another frequent cause of knee pain, particularly in older adults.

Other potential causes of nivelvaivo include tendinitis, which is inflammation of the tendons around the knee, and bursitis, which involves inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joint. Fractures of the kneecap or surrounding bones can also lead to significant knee pain. In some cases, referred pain from other areas, like the hip or lower back, can manifest as nivelvaivo.

The severity and characteristics of nivelvaivo can vary greatly depending on the cause. It may be a dull ache, a sharp pain, or a burning sensation. Swelling, stiffness, clicking or popping sounds, and difficulty bearing weight on the affected leg are also common symptoms. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, medical history, and potentially imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans. Treatment strategies are tailored to the specific cause and can range from conservative measures like rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), physical therapy, and pain medication to surgical interventions for more severe conditions.
