Knee pain
Knee pain is something many people experience, especially as they get older, but that doesn’t mean it’s just a normal part of aging. It’s one of the most common concerns we hear at our physical therapy clinic. If you're dealing with knee pain, you're not alone, and it's important to get to the bottom of what's really causing it. Understanding the truth behind knee pain can help you find the right path to relief.
Why Won’t My Knee Pain Go Away? What’s Behind My Knee Pain Lasting For Months?
Many people assume that knee pain will simply improve and eventually go away on its own, without needing any active intervention. They believe that with enough time, the discomfort will fade. However, after months of waiting—sometimes as long as six months or more—the pain persists, and in some cases, it can even become more intense or chronic than it was when it first began. This cycle often leaves people frustrated, unsure of what to do next, and unaware that the root cause of their pain may still be unaddressed.
Is This Familiar?
Knee pain is something we see frequently in our physical therapy clinic. Often, patients visit their doctors and are advised to take pain medication, rest, and follow up in six weeks if the pain doesn’t improve. When they return after that time, the pain is still there, and they’re prescribed stronger painkillers or a knee brace. Unfortunately, this approach usually focuses on managing the symptoms rather than addressing the underlying cause of the pain, leaving the problem unresolved.
