    Hi

    This ain't an easy one to answer Mr/Mrs Unknown.

    Knee pain can be caused by a variety of different factors and to diagnose or advise someone with pain we need to know more of the how/why of an individual's pain.

    Your first port of call should be to discuss your problem with your local Osteo/Physio/GP. They will run through a thorough medical history and orthopedic examination.

    Or post more information and we can attempt to help via the interwebs.

    Sincerely

    Bill Adamson

    If your knee pain is severe, stopping you from walking, and not improving with rest, it’s time to get it properly checked. 🚨 Pain like this could be due to ligament damage, a meniscus tear, or even a fracture, especially if there was an injury. If there’s swelling, locking, or an inability to put weight on it, it’s worth seeing a doctor for imaging (X-ray or MRI) to rule out anything serious. In the meantime, keep it elevated, avoid unnecessary weight-bearing, and use ice if there’s swelling. Wrapping it is okay, but compression alone won’t fix the issue. At UpPlus Physiotherapy, we specialize in knee rehab—once we know what’s going on, we can guide you with the right exercises, manual therapy, and recovery plan to get you back on your feet. Let’s get to the bottom of it!
