What are the signs that my knee pain needs medical attention?

Knee pain is common, but certain signs mean it’s time to see a specialist:

• Pain lasting more than 2–3 weeks, especially if it’s worsening
• Swelling, redness, or warmth that doesn't go away
• Difficulty bearing weight or bending the knee
• A "popping" or “locking” sensation
• History of injury with limited range of motion
• Pain that wakes you at night or affects daily life

At Medici, we see patients with everything from minor strains to arthritis, torn ligaments, and post-surgical pain. Whether you need injections, physical therapy, or regenerative support, we’ll help get your knee back in motion—without unnecessary surgery.
