Suffering with Knee Pain ? A guide to solving your problems

Knee pain is such a common complaint in our Orthopedic practice, that I decided to write something about it; so the readers may benefit by getting an insight into the medical intricacy of diagnosis and treatment planning.

Lets diversify our subjects according to Age. I 'll be focusing on common ailments which cause knee discomfort.

Adults, both Men & Women, between the age group of 25-35 years often complain of Knee pain, with difficulty in getting up from sitting or squatting position, or after climbing stairs. Most such cases are due to Cartilage damage happening at Patello-Femoral interface, commonly called Chondromalacia Patellae or Patellofemoral syndrome. It is relatively more common in young ladies.

Young, active adults are also prone to twisting injuries. Such injuries may cause damage to meniscus and ligaments inside the knee. While a meniscus tear is more likely to cause interference in knee movements, locking episodes, or difficulty in squatting & cross leg sitting; a ligament tear more often causes instability, esp on walking stairs or sloppy, irregular terrain.

In middle age groups between 35-50 years, arthritis becomes a predominant reason for knee pain, with injuries constituting a close second. This is the age of our peak performance years, and we can not allow disability to affect the pace of growth. This is also the the age, when a lot of preventive measures can be undertaken, to prevent or the least delay onset of more severe arthritis. So, I prefer to call it the "Action Age Group"

As we go towards the senior adults in the age group of 50-70 years, Arthritis becomes the predominant reason for knee pain, closely associated with another disorder, Osteoporosis. For optimum bone health, it is important to understand the philosophy behind bone and joint damage,
and take necessary steps to control or cue the problem    www.bonesclinic.com

  3. The professionals that are salivating ... as he says ... I don't think np's desire such patients as much as they are perhaps better equipped to care for these patients! I get excited when I get consults on patients that the doctors are asking me to manage because they simply have exhausted their tool box ... This is difficult to control symptoms ... and difficult families and psychosocial issues ... as well as undecided families as far as their goals of care. So ... I suppose I salivate at the chance to say -- hey this recommendation is what you need!

  4. Awesome post Dr. Anurag Awasthi. Knee pain is a common problem that can originate in any of the bony structures compromising the knee joint (femur, tibia, fibula), the kneecap (patella), or the ligaments and cartilage (meniscus) of the knee. Knee pain can affect people of all ages, and home remedies can be helpful unless it becomes severe.

  12. The main reason for replacing any degenerative joint with an artificial joint is to stop the bones from rubbing against each other. This rubbing causes pain. Replacing the painful and degerative joint with an artificial joint gives the joint a new surface, which moves smoothly without causing pain.The goal is to help people return to many of their activities with less pain and with greater freedom of movement.Knee Replacement consists of Partial Knee Replacement and Total knee Replacement.
    A partial knee replacement is surgery to replace only one part of a damaged knee. It can replace either the inside (medial) part, the outside (lateral) part, or the kneecap part of the knee. Surgery to replace the whole knee joint is called total knee replacement.
