There are a number of possible reasons, which only a full medical check can identify.
A common reason for pain in the knee when bending is inflammation of the joint, or rather, of the membranes in and around the joint.
(Arthritis, as it happens, means inflammation of the joint!)
Included in possible causes are: infection, wear and tear, or crystal deposits.
Maybe you have over-exerted yourself, or twisted your leg. A pharmacist, or better still, a doctor, will quickly be able to advise you and offer treatment, either to relieve the symptoms or to help you manage the stuation and deal with possible causes.
If symptoms persist, an X-ray of the knee joint might reveal the real cause of the pain.
Possible treatments and/or therapies will then be suggested to you by these medical professionals.
