Knee pain-see MD: You should see your primary care doctor for evaluation of your knee. A diagnosis can't be made without a thorough history and exam. It is important to know where the pain is localized, and an exam will reveal the most likely diagnosis. Often an X-ray will be ordered, sometimes an MRI. For now, until your appointment, minimize any weight bearing on that knee, no strenuous activities, and rest.
