Knee pain is a really common pain and complaint for many people (and we treat so many knee pain conditions in our Phoenix physio clinics).
There are several factors that can lead to pain in one’s knees, so having awareness and knowledge of their causes can lead to a more accurate diagnosis.

Pain in knees due to cold can be caused by the knee tendon undergoing tenosynovitis (inflammation of the tendon-synovial sheath) either caused or aggravated by the cold temperature exposure.
Cold temperature may also increase stiffness in knee joints (physics, biomechanics and temperature), and especially so in patients who are already compromised with knee disorders or diseases such as:
Individuals who do not move as much (sedentary) in their work or life seems to develop more knee pain.
The main underlying reason is when one isn't active in activities or lifestyle or work, and this decreases the load demand on the muscles of the body (including the knee).
This in turn leads to muscles in the knee becoming more weak and lax, and they do not support the knee joint and structure as well, and this in turn leads to increased bone-to/on-bone contact and impact, which can cause/aggravate osteoarthritis which can be very painful.
The blood vessels like arteries and veins can also be compressed, and this causes poor venous and arterial flows, which further causes more pains.
