Why does my knee hurt?
Many injuries, degenerative conditions, and lifestyle factors contribute to knee pain. For example, your knee pain could be due to:
Your risk of knee pain is higher if you’re overweight, lead a sedentary lifestyle, or have a physically demanding career or hobby. For example, athletes put a lot of physical stress on their knees, which increases their chances of both overuse and acute injuries.
Dr. Deo begins diagnosis by talking to you about your symptoms, lifestyle, injuries, and medical history. She feels your knee and leg for signs of inflammation, deformity, and structural abnormalities that could contribute to your pain.
Dr. Deo might ask you to bend and extend your knee, stand up straight, or walk around the office to see how your pain impairs your mobility. In some cases, she uses in-office diagnostic tests like Ultrasound to confirm your diagnosis.
