Frequently asked questions
What causes knee pain?
Causes of knee pain can stem from arthritis, ligament or meniscus injuries, overuse, or conditions like bursitis and tendonitis. Our specialists at Mass General Brigham evaluate each patient carefully to determine the cause of their pain and create a personalized treatment plan.
When should I see a doctor for knee pain?
You should seek care if pain lasts more than a few days, affects your ability to walk or climb stairs, or follows an injury. If your knee locks, gives out, or swells suddenly, it’s best to see an orthopedic specialist right away.
What are the treatment options for knee pain?
Treatment may include physical therapy, bracing, or image-guided injections to reduce pain and inflammation. When needed, our surgeons perform minimally invasive procedures such as arthroscopy or ligament reconstruction to restore joint movement and stability.
Do I need surgery for knee pain?
Not always. Many people find relief through non-surgical care. Surgery is typically recommended only when joint damage or instability can’t be resolved with therapy or conservative treatment.
