Knee Pain

Knee pain is a prevalent medical issue that can affect people of all ages. It may stem from various causes, such as overuse, injuries like ligament tears or meniscus damage, osteoarthritis, or inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Symptoms include discomfort, swelling, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Diagnosis often involves physical examinations, imaging tests (X-rays, MRIs), and medical history assessment. Treatment approaches vary based on the underlying cause and severity of the pain. They may include rest, physical therapy, pain medications, knee braces, injections (corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid), or, in severe cases, surgical procedures like knee arthroscopy or joint replacement. Early intervention and proper management are crucial for preserving knee function and minimizing pain.
