Knee Pain Dallas

Knee pain is a common condition that can affect individuals of all ages and body types. There are various factors that can contribute to knee pain, including sports injuries, poor posture, car accidents, genetics, and more.

The causes of knee pain can be classified into two categories: chronic knee pain and acute knee pain. Acute knee pain is usually temporary and may resolve on its own over time, often resulting from injuries or accidents. On the other hand, chronic knee pain is persistent and typically requires treatment.

Chronic knee pain can be caused by various factors, including:

• Dislocation
• Meniscus injuries
• Osteoarthritis
• Tendinitis
• Bursitis
• Gout
• Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
• Chondromalacia patella

If left untreated, these underlying causes can worsen, leading to increased discomfort and pain in the knee and surrounding areas.

Symptoms of chronic knee pain can vary from person to person but often include:

• Continuous aches
• Sharp or shooting pains in the knee
• Dull burning or warm sensation
• Swelling

The treatment for knee pain depends on the underlying cause and may vary for each patient. Common treatment options for knee pain include physical therapy, surgery, injections, and medications.

For relief from chronic knee pain, it is recommended to schedule an appointment with a professional pain clinic. In the meantime, temporary relief for acute pain can be achieved by applying a bag of ice to the knee for 15 minutes every few hours. It is important to use a towel between the ice and the skin and avoid applying the ice directly to the knee.

If you or someone you know is experiencing chronic knee pain, it is best to seek professional help from board-certified pain management doctors. Contact Texas Pain Physicians at 972-636-5727 to schedule an appointment with one of their Dallas Pain Doctors.
