Common knee pain concerns
Knee pain may relate to running, gym training, twisting injuries, joint irritation, tendon pain, previous surgery, swelling, stiffness or gradual overload.
How support may help
A suitable practitioner may assess knee movement, strength, balance, walking, running or sport demands before suggesting appropriate advice or rehabilitation where suitable.
What to mention in your enquiry
Mention where the pain is, whether there is swelling, whether the knee locks or gives way, what activities are affected, and whether the issue started suddenly or gradually.
When to seek urgent help
Seek urgent medical attention if there is severe swelling, deformity, inability to weight bear, fever, spreading redness, suspected fracture or dislocation, or symptoms after a major injury.
