You should contact a doctor if your knee pain is causing you any problems getting through your day or night. They wouldn’t want you to suffer, and could tell you what treatment options may be right for you.
Don’t wait longer than you should. Listen to your body. Schedule an appointment with your doctor to discuss your options. They may have busy schedules, and it could take time to get an appointment—better to call sooner rather than later so that you can get help when you need it.
Treatment for osteoarthritis knee pain is not only for special occasions or upcoming events. Its purpose is to provide pain relief. Don’t wait to ask for help—the time to treat your pain is when it hurts!
