Knee pain is a common issue among people of all ages, including relatively young individuals facing knee pain during their adulthood. Often, this pain begins due to the wear and tear of the knee joint called osteoarthritis (OA) - a painful and progressive disease. Some of the injuries, like fractures and ligament tears, overuse from specific activities, and the added stress of obesity, can increase the level of pain.
Autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis prompts inflammation and pain in the knee joints. Tendonitis, bursitis, and gout contribute to knee pain caused by uric acid crystal accumulation. Ligamentous injuries, poor biomechanics, infections, and age-related cartilage wear can all lead to discomfort.
Traditionally, most people resort to oral painkillers during the initial stage, which leave them with various side effects. Over time, these painkillers become less effective, leading them to seek help from orthopedics. Upon evaluation, some patients may receive joint injections to alleviate their pain. However, as they age and their knee pain worsens, many eventually require knee replacement surgery.
So, seeking professional guidance is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment, involving medications, physical therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and, in some instances, surgical intervention.
A NON-SURGICAL FIX
Recently, a novel treatment option called Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) has emerged as a promising alternative to Total Knee Replacement for patients suffering from persistent knee pain. This innovative approach is particularly suitable for those whose knee pain results from inflammation in a specific part of the knee joint.
