According to Dr. Rajesh Verma, Head of Spine Surgery at Shalby International Hospital, one important cause of knee problems in young adults is a previous sports or ligament injury.
"Does knee pain at a younger age necessarily mean that the knees are ageing faster than the rest of the body?
Not always.
Previous injuries, sports-related ligament damage, repetitive stress, excess weight and inflammatory conditions can all contribute to knee problems in younger adults," he said.
