It is not unusual for problems of the hip to manifest as pain in the groin, back, buttock, and in some cases the knee and lower leg. As with most musculoskeletal conditions, the severity of pain can vary widely, but pain is not always an accurate representation of serious pathology.

Knee pain affects all ages and the reasons behind it can be varied.

Wear and tear (degeneration) in your hand, wrist or elbow is a normal part of ageing. Avoiding movement and general physical activity is not advised unless recommended by a muscular skeletal specialist (such as an osteopath, physiotherapist, GP or specialist doctor).

These injuries are often due to repetitive overloading activities, without adequate arm strength.

The foot and ankle are complex body parts, and pain arising from the area can affect people from both active and sedentary backgrounds.

Causes may include muscle tension, sinus congestion, trauma, high blood pressure, pre-menstrual syndrome, pregnancy and, very rarely, vascular pathology, tumours or meningitis.
