Understanding Knee Pain in Mumbai | Causes, Symptoms & Effective Treatments

Knee pain can result from arthritis, overload, injury, kneecap problems, tendon disorders, inflammation or pain referred from the hip or back. The correct treatment begins with identifying the most likely source.

Knee Pain: Causes, Warning Signs and Treatment Principles

The assessment considers where pain occurs, when it started, swelling, stiffness, locking, instability, previous injury and functional limitation. X-rays or other tests are used only when they are likely to clarify diagnosis or change management.

A hot swollen knee, fever, inability to bear weight, visible deformity, major trauma, new weakness or rapidly worsening symptoms require prompt medical review. Treatment may include exercise, activity changes, medicines, selected injections or surgery when indicated.
