Knee Pain Q&A

What can cause knee pain?

Knee pain can develop from an acute injury, repetitive strain, or degenerative changes within the joint. Because the knee supports much of your body’s weight, even small problems can cause significant discomfort.

Common causes of knee pain include:

Arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis)
Meniscus tears or cartilage injuries
Ligament sprains or tears (ACL, MCL, or PCL injuries)
Patellar tendonitis (“jumper’s knee”)
Bursitis (inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joint)
Overuse injuries from repetitive motion or high-impact activities
Degenerative joint disease or age-related wear-and-tear

Knee pain can also result from alignment issues in the hips or feet that alter your walking pattern, increasing stress on the joint over time.

What are the signs you should see a doctor for knee pain?

Occasional knee soreness after exercise may improve with rest and home care. However, persistent or severe pain should be evaluated by a medical professional. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Mohan if you experience:

Swelling or stiffness that lasts more than a few days
Pain that limits walking, standing, or climbing stairs
A popping, locking, or grinding sensation in the knee
Knee instability or feeling like the joint may “give out”
Sharp pain following an injury or fall
Difficulty fully bending or straightening your leg

Early diagnosis can prevent worsening damage and improve long-term joint function.

What treatments are available for knee pain?

Dr. Mohan begins with a comprehensive exam and may order X-rays, MRIs, or ultrasound imaging to determine the cause and extent of your pain. Once diagnosed, a customized care plan is developed, tailored to your needs and lifestyle.

Treatment options at Pain Specialists of Frisco may include:

Corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injections to reduce inflammation and improve cushioning
