Knees are used and relied on for many everyday activities and movements, from walking downstairs, standing up from a chair or driving a car. It can be easy to pay no attention to them most of the time. Indeed, it is only when something goes wrong in them that we realise just how much we depend on them working properly!
Knee pain is a particularly common problem, usually caused by a sports injury or general ‘wear-and-tear’ in the joint as we age.
Some knee injuries will get better naturally over time, but if your symptoms continue or are bad enough to affect daily life, it is sensible to get things looked properly.
Similarly, if general ‘wear and tear’ in your knee is causing only relatively mild symptoms, you may be able to ignore them for a while. If your symptoms are more severe, they are often far harder to ignore, and you will probably quickly realise the value of getting expert guidance about the best way forward.
