Patient Questions About Knee Pain – Common Concerns & Advice

I have knee pain after sports. What should I do?

Answer:
Sports-related knee pain could be due to muscle strain, ligament sprain, or cartilage injury. Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) can help initially. If the pain persists, worsens, or limits movement, it’s best to consult a doctor for a proper assessment.

I have a history of knee pain, and now it’s worse. Should I worry?

Answer:
If knee pain becomes more frequent or severe, especially with swelling or instability, it may signal a worsening underlying condition like osteoarthritis or ligament injury. Getting a timely evaluation can help you understand the cause and explore effective treatment options.

My knee locks or gives way. What does this mean?

Answer:
Locking or giving way may suggest a mechanical issue inside the knee, such as a meniscus tear or ligament instability. These symptoms warrant a medical review, and sometimes imaging like an MRI, to guide treatment.

Can knee pain get better without treatment?

Answer:
Some mild cases of knee pain improve with rest and self-care. However, recurring or persistent pain often requires proper diagnosis and targeted management to prevent worsening or long-term joint damage.

Should I continue exercising if I have knee pain?

Answer:
Low-impact exercises like swimming, cycling, or physiotherapy-guided strengthening may benefit some types of knee pain. However, avoid high-impact activities if they worsen symptoms. A professional can advise on safe exercises for your condition.
