A member asked:

What would happen if i went to an urgent care center with severe joint pain. mainly in my knees which is the most severe.. almost a week now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies : It depends on wether or not you had an injury. With an in injury it could many things, from a knee sprain to a cartilage or ligament tear. Without an injury, it could be an infection, gout, or any number of rheumatoid like problems. Either way it sounds like you need a work up for knee pain.
