A member asked:

What to do if i have iron deficiency and knee pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your physician.: See your family physician or internist. He/she may recommend iron supplements, or dietary changes to increase your iron levels. Your knee pain may not be related to the iron deficiency. Therefore, you should see a non-surgical sports medicine specialist, who can determine the root of the problem, and offer the correct treatment.
