label=”Text”]Knee Pain is a debilitating condition and the treatment must be performed by an experienced orthopedic doctor. Dr. Sumit Badhwar is the best knee pain doctor in Noida for all kinds of ailments such as knee arthritis, sports injuries, or any fractures or trauma to the knee. The treatment of joint pain depends upon the cause of the pain that can be degenerative (due to aging) or traumatic (accident, fracture, sports injury), etc.
Common causes of Knee Pain
- Knee Arthritis or Osteoarthritis/OA – This is a degenerative disorder that is quite common in postmenopausal women as well as senior males. The synovial fluid (commonly known as joint grease) of the joints is reduced with age that leads to friction between the joint surfaces. Pain, stiffness, difficulty in getting up from a chair, and walking are some of the most common symptoms of OA.
- Sports Injuries – Common sports injuries are knee sprain and strain. Some of the most severe knee injuries are meniscal tear and IDK (internal derangement of Knee) etc. The sportsperson feels as if the joint is giving way. This is commonly treated by conservative measures and by arthroscopy in severe cases.
- Developmental Disorders – Other less common causes of knee pain are developmental disorders such as chondromalacia patella and osteomalacia. The patient (a child or a teenager) feels crackling sounds while walking accompanied by joint pain. This can be treated with proper medication and physiotherapy.
- Others – Other reasons include rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and baker’s cyst, etc. They are treated as per the disease symptoms and severity.
