Cause #9: Torn Ligaments
There are four ligaments present in the knee. It may be quite painful if a ligament is torn; however, depending on the ligament effected, it may be painless. If your ligaments are torn, then you may have a difficult time bending the knee and engaging in any serious activity may be impossible.
Of the four ligaments found in the knee, the most frequently injured one is the anterior cruciate ligament, also known as the ACL. This ligament is often torn during high-intensity sports.
