Are you struggling with persistent, nagging 🤯 CHRONIC KNEE PAIN?  


While there are many effective ways to find relief…


It's important to know when your knee issues may require more serious medical attention.


You might be wondering, 


“How Do You Know If Your Chronic Knee Pain Is Serious?” 


Here are some key signs to watch out for


Severe, Sudden Pain

If you experience an abrupt, intense increase in 🤯 CHRONIC KNEE PAIN that prevents you from bearing weight, this could indicate a serious injury like a ligament tear or fracture. 


Significant Swelling

Rapid, significant swelling in and around the knee joint that doesn't improve with rest, ice, and elevation may signal an underlying problem beyond just inflammation.


Instability Or Locking

If your knee regularly gives way or feels like it may "lock up", this could mean there's structural damage to the joint that needs to be addressed.


Limited Range Of Motion

The inability to fully straighten or bend the knee, or sharp pain with movement, may point to a more complex issue like arthritis or a meniscus tear.


Numbness Or Tingling

Any unexplained numbness, tingling, or weakness in the knee, lower leg, or foot could indicate nerve involvement that requires medical evaluation.


Fever Or Redness

If your 🤯 CHRONIC KNEE PAIN is accompanied by signs of infection like fever, redness, or warmth, you should seek immediate medical care, as this could signal a serious issue.


In general, any 🤯 CHRONIC KNEE PAIN that is severe, worsening, or persisting for more than a few days without improvement warrants a trip to our office.
