Physiatrist (Physical Medicine) Questions knee pain

What can I do with my knee pain?

I'm 30 years old, and I have had really bad knee pain for the past 3 months. I haven't gotten it treated because I felt it wasn't serious. But, what should I do to relieve this pain?

Hi! Thank you for reaching out. Without knowing the mechanism that caused the pain or where the pain is, I hesitate to give treatment recommendations. There are many different structures in the knee that could be affected and causing pain. The knee can also have pain that is caused by biomechanical dysfunctions of the hip also. Since the pain has lasted for about 3 months and doesn't seem to be going away on its own, I would encourage you to reach out to your doctor for relief. A full evaluation, diagnosis, and rehabilitation program might be able to help you achieve the relief that you desire.
