There seem to be three classes of nerve fibers found in knee joints including those sensitive to normal movement, to abnormal movement and those that are not sensitive to movement. Pain stimulation can activate all of these fibers. Substance P is a compound that travels along nerve fibers that are not surrounded by an electrically insulating sheath called myelin. Substance P helps to stimulate inflammation. The central nervous system may control the production of substance P as well as stimulating nerves in the tissues surrounding and distant to the affected area, causing pain in these areas as well. C fibers in the spinal cord, under stimulation by substance P, may in turn activate N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors that maintain pain stimulation in the affected and surrounding areas. Drugs that interrupt these central pathways may be effective in managing pain.
