Dr Ahmed SalamaHelp to move more comfortably with knee pain
Whether it is arthritis or pain that has persisted after knee surgery, knee pain can limit walking, stairs and sleep. Non-surgical treatments may help, including when surgery is not suitable or you would prefer to wait.
Knee pain is most often caused by osteoarthritis, which causes pain, morning stiffness and swelling that typically eases with gentle movement. Some people also have persistent pain after a knee replacement.
Alongside exercise and weight management, a knee joint injection can reduce pain. For longer-lasting relief, genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation targets the small nerves that carry pain from the knee. This is particularly useful when surgery is not suitable, is being delayed, or has not relieved the pain.
