What are the causes of knee pain and injury?

Knee pain is the second biggest cause of musculoskeletal pain and disability, due to its huge complexity. It can range from short bursts of localised discomfort through to extremely significant amounts of pain. Most cases of knee pain and injury are triggered by a combination of, postural mis-alignment, overuse, repetitive strain, injury (or trauma), and inflammation to the structures of the knee. Severity varies, but below are some examples of common causes of knee pain and injury.

Common types of knee pain

  • Soft tissue injury to muscles, tendons, ligaments

  • ACL/PCL trauma

  • Meniscus damage

  • Patello-femoral pain

  • Osteoarthritis

  • Spinal referred pain

  • Bursitis

 

It is extremely important to be aware of more sinister causes of knee pain, like inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis, reactive arthritis, psoriatic arthritis...). Other important symptoms to be aware of are prolonged morning joint stiffness, increased swelling, multiple joint pain/swelling, fever, altered sensation or tingling down the leg, ongoing cramps in the legs,  fatigue, weight loss and night pain.

Fortunately, many cases of knee pain and injuries we see here at the Dynamic Clinic can be dealt with and treated successfully with conservative treatment modalities. However, we have built ourselves a very good reputation of delivering high quality regenerative treatments for knee pain. The most popular by far being P-PRP injection treatment, in which patients travel from all over the UK to see us for treatment (further information can be found on the ORTHOBIOLOGICS link below). If patients do not respond adequately to conservative treatment or the problem is getting worse, then consideration for injection therapy may be discussed. If patients are showing signs of advanced injury or disease then we may discuss the option for an MRI scanning, to get diagnostic clarity of what it is that may be causing the issue. 

​

If a cause of your knee pain is suspected to be of an inflammatory or rheumatological origin, then you will be asked to provide a blood test and lab panel to check for raised inflammatory markers - ESR, CRP and TNFa, and maybe immunological makers.

Referral for Specialist Imaging or Private MRI Scans

At the Dynamic Clinic we can provide ultrasound imaging to look for signs of tissue damage and inflammation. However, on occasions we may require a more in-depth analysis. If a private MRI scan is considered, we will put in a local referral to our Imaging Centre in Solihull. You will then be contacted and booked in within 5-10 days. Following your scan, the report will be completed by our colleague Dr David Beale (Consultant Musculoskeletal Radiologist). This report will then come back to the Dynamic Clinic and will we then discuss with you then best course of treatment for your compliant. 

In some cases we may refer to our trusted colleagues Mr Jamie Arbuthnot (Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon) or Prof Martin Snow (Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon) for surgical opinion. 

Knee Pain Assessment

To help your knee pain, we firstly need to know what may be causing the issue. To do this we have to provide a thorough knee pain and injury assessment.​​ If you have been having knee pain which does not appear to be improving or is impacting on your function, it is recommended to see a musculoskeletal professional. This experineced clinician will be able to provide a full assessment, gain information to make a diagnosis and provide the best treatment and management strategies to resolve your knee pain or injury and get you back to full function again. At the Dynamic Clinic, knee pain and injury is one of the most common issues we see many times every day. Our experienced musculoskeletal clinician, Mr Adam Whatley will be able to provide assessment, diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of knee pain conditions from sport injuries, performance activities through to the management and rehabilitation of complex conditions.
