Depends on your age. could be arthritis or inflammation.
Joint pain can result from something as simple as a lack of mobility; joints need constant movement for the production of joint fluid. In the absence of trauma, the only cause of joint pain is cartilage loss (arthritis, of which there are several types).
Trauma and falls may cause knee pain.
