Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Internal knee issues: Knee swelling and pain with squatting are common findings with meniscal tears. Knee pain with stairs is usually related to degenerative cartilage behind the knee cap. An orthopedic surgeon can evaluate your knees and help determine what is causing your pain.
