Knee Pain Q&A

Which conditions and injuries cause knee pain?

Knee pain can come from various conditions and injuries. Injuries are more common in the knee compared to other joints because your knees bear most of your weight when you stand, walk, and run. 

 

Some knee conditions and injuries stem from overuse or wear-and-tear, while others happen suddenly and cause pain right away. 

 

Your provider at ReGen Pain Management explores all possibilities with an initial physical exam, medical history review, and imaging tests. You might experience knee pain from:

 

  • Arthritis
  • Bursitis
  • Tendon injuries
  • Ligament injuries
  • Baker cysts
  • Meniscus tears
  • Patellofemoral syndrome
  • Kneecap fractures

 

Your provider asks for details about your knee pain, including how and when it started and when it tends to flare up. These details help them to identify the cause. 

What can I do to alleviate knee pain at home?

Home care and lifestyle modifications can make a major positive difference in your knee comfort and function. The team at ReGen Pain Management teaches you the best practices for caring for your painful knee at home. 

 

It may help you to manage your weight so your knee doesn’t withstand quite as much pressure in your day-to-day life. You should also prioritize low-impact exercises while dealing with knee pain and avoid impactful activities like running, which could aggravate your painful knee. 

 

Your provider might also suggest icing your joint regularly or applying heat to soothe the joint. They might also recommend keeping your painful knee elevated while resting. 

Which treatments can improve knee pain?

Different individuals experience varied reactions to knee pain treatments, so it’s important to consult with professional pain management providers to get personalized care for your knee pain. You might need to try multiple treatments before finding a regimen that works well for you. 

 

At ReGen Pain Management, your knee pain might improve with:

 

  • Viscosupplementation (hyaluronic acid injections)
  • Corticosteroid injections
  • Nerve block injections
  • Oral medications
  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
  • Minimally invasive surgeries

 

While administering injections for knee pain, ReGen Pain Management uses ultrasound guidance to ensure the medication or substance goes to the correct area of the joint for your safety.
