Your knees are the largest and probably most frequently used jointly in your body. While it supports your whole body weight and manages smooth movements of your legs it also acts as a suspension system. Knee problems are created due to various reasons. It could be just old age, or bursitis, arthritis or due to over-exertion and injury.
