Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most common cause of joint pain in adults?
Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of joint pain in adults over 50 — caused by progressive wearing of articular cartilage. In younger adults, sports injuries (ligament tears, meniscal tears, cartilage damage) and inflammatory arthritis are more common. Accurate diagnosis guides appropriate treatment.
When should I see a specialist for joint pain?
See a specialist if joint pain is: persistent for more than 4–6 weeks, associated with swelling, warmth, or redness, causing difficulty with daily activities or sleep, or associated with instability, locking, or giving way. Early assessment leads to better outcomes.
Can joint pain be treated without surgery?
In most cases, yes. Physiotherapy, PRP injections, viscosupplementation, activity modification, and appropriate medication manage the majority of joint pain conditions effectively. Dr. Chetan M. Dojode FRCS always explores non-surgical options first — surgery only when genuinely necessary.
What is the best treatment for knee joint pain?
Treatment depends on the cause and severity. Mild osteoarthritis: physiotherapy, PRP, viscosupplementation. Moderate arthritis: structured exercise, weight management, bracing, injection therapy. Advanced arthritis: robotic knee replacement. Sports injuries: arthroscopic surgery as needed. Dr. Chetan M. Dojode tailors treatment to each patient.
