FAQs About Knee Pain
“Can knee injuries heal on their own?”
While minor injuries may improve with rest, it is still important to seek medical attention to obtain an accurate diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment as early as possible for optimal recovery.
"Is knee pain normal after physical activity?"
While some level of discomfort may be expected after an intensive sports session, for example, persistent or worsening knee pain – especially if accompanied by other symptoms – may indicate an underlying issue that should ideally be tended to by an orthopaedic doctor.
“Are there non-surgical options for knee problems?”
Absolutely. We always consider non-surgical options as far as possible before considering surgical ones. Our clinic provides medications, joint injections, physiotherapy and other conservative treatments for suitable patients.
“If I end up needing knee surgery, how long will my downtime be?”
That will depend very much on your type and severity of knee injury, the type of procedure performed, as well as your general health. In general, the downtime can range from a few weeks to a few months. Following proper aftercare and rehabilitation for your individual situation can enhance recovery greatly.
