A wide variety of activities can cause damage to the knee ranging from professional sporting activities such as football, soccer, or tennis to routine activities of daily living such as working around the house, bending and squatting when playing with children or routine gardening. With cartilage injuries of this nature, there is typically very minimal swelling and the pain is typically minimal.
