Physical Therapist Questions Physical Therapy

Should I see a physical therapist for my knee pain?

Last night I suddenly had a severe pain in my knee. I had a combiflam and applied volini spray and in the morning it seems better. Should I still see a physical therapist?

If this is the first episode of knee pain then you could at this point just monitor for any other symptoms such as pain, swelling, or instability. If you have no further issue then you do not need to seek evaluation and care but if you continue to notice intermittent symptoms then I would highly recommend you seek care.
I would recommend seeing an orthopedic doctor first should your pain recur.
That could be a couple of different things. You need to see an orthopedic doctor for diagnosis first. In the meantime, you can use some ice 10-15 minutes every couple of hours, and rest.
As long it is better, it is okay. But if it still hurts, then yes, it's recommended.
You should wait a couple of days and if the pain persists then see a physical therapist
Absolutely!!
If it continues to bother you then yes.
