Why does my knee hurt so often?

I'm 23 years old and male. I played soccer for like 10 years or longer. I never had a major injury or anything during the time I played, but now my knee hurts very often. Why is this happening?

From what you say there is definitely something different and not right when your knee hurts frequently. You should seek care with a sports med or orthopedic specialist. You may have a correctable injury or a condition requiring modification of your activities.

You would need an evaluation to be more accurate. The most likely cause is from wear and tear (early traumatic arthritis) without a major injury from playing soccer.
