Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a specialist for my knee pain symptoms?
You should see a specialist like Dr. King or Dr. James for your knee pain if the pain is severe, persists for more than a few weeks, worsens over time, or is accompanied by symptoms like swelling, redness, instability, or difficulty walking. Additionally, consult a specialist if the pain results from an injury or if over-the-counter remedies and rest don’t provide relief.
What are the most common knee pain causes?
The most common causes of knee pain include arthritis (such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis), injuries like ligament tears or meniscus damage, overuse from repetitive activities, patellar tendinitis, bursitis, and conditions like runner's knee. Sometimes, knee pain can also result from issues in nearby areas, such as hip or foot problems, that affect how you move.
When will a knee pain doctor typically recommend knee replacement?
A knee pain doctor will typically recommend knee replacement when other treatments, such as physical therapy, medications, or injections, have not relieved severe pain or improved mobility. This is often the case for advanced arthritis or significant joint damage that affects daily activities and overall quality of life.
