chronic knee pain

Accepted Answer

See details: Have the knee evaluated and the pain treated by an orthopedist or rheumatologist. There are many treatment options available. Without knowing your medical history or your current meds it is difficult to recommend a specific treatment without a proper evaluation.

Question 3

i am having very bad knee pain. some times the pain shoots up my leg & my knee will give out what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Too young for that: you are too young for that you must injured your knee some time in the past and it pay back now unless you decided suddenly to have rheumatoid arthritis 
so you are too young to live with pain like this go and see your doctor or knee specialist or a arthritis specialist you  will get proper evaluation either get assured or get the proper treatment do not ignore it please good luck

Question 4

does squatting could give me knee pain?

Accepted Answer

Definitely, yes: The fact is squats can cause knee pain, especially when they’re performed incorrectly. If you have knee pain with full squats, you may have injured your knee without knowing it. See your PCP for evaluation and check with certified personal trainer, how to perform your squats correctly. Good luck.

Question 5

i'm having bad knee pain. would wrapping it with an ace bandage work or something more serious. my knee pain is: feels like its gonna give out; pain?

Accepted Answer

Start with RICE: I'm sorry to hear of your discomfort. Did you injury your knee? Regardless, i recommend you  start with rice, and the "c" can be accomplished with the ace bandage you mentioned. With the sensation that your knee is going to "give out" you should plan to see an orthopedist, especially if it does not get better soon. You may need bracing, an injection, pt, or surgery depending on severity of injury.

Question 6

lt knee pain when walk only & if i bend knee, feels like knee is falling off & it gives out but pain goes away when i sit & is back by taking few step?

Accepted Answer

See an orthopedist: Depending on your age and history, this could be  sprain, meniscal injury or arthritis.  Pain with bending and giving out argues to be seen by an orthopedist.

Question 7

what should a doctor give for unexplained knee pain?

Accepted Answer

Knee pain: Hopefully, your doctor would look for an explanation for the knee pain prior to providing treatment.  Common causes of knee pain such as osteoarthritis or tendinitis might benefit from an NSAID or rest.  Injury such as a meniscal tear might require physical therapy or surgery.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Question 9

went to ortho dr about my knee pain. sharp pain and locking up all time. all dr wants to do is give pain meds. what can i do for it. im tired of meds.

Accepted Answer

Good for you!!: Sometimes a PT is better for this than an ortho Dr. Especially after they determine no surgery is needed. So seek a good PT referral - ask at a Dr, a hospital, a nursing home, a gym, a pharmacy. You'll find they can really help!
