Osteoarthritis: This is the most common type of arthritis and is caused by the breakdown of cartilage in the joints.
Rheumatoid arthritis: This is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints.
Bursitis: This is a condition that causes inflammation of the bursa, which are small sacs of fluid that cushion the joints.
Patellar tendinitis: This is an inflammation of the tendon that attaches the kneecap to the shinbone.
Iliotibial band syndrome: This is a condition that causes inflammation of the iliotibial band, which is a band of tissue that runs along the outside of the thigh.
