Understanding the Causes Of Your Knee Pain
Most commonly, the cause of knee pain can be the result of an injury such as an ACL injury, a fracture, a torn meniscus, knee bursitis, and many others. A knee injury can affect the ligaments and tendons that surround the knee joint and can be extremely painful. Other conditions that may cause knee pain include a variety of different types of arthritis. Some of the different types of arthritis that may affect the knee include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, pseudogout, and septic arthritis. People who are at a higher risk for knee problems are most commonly older in age, are overweight or obese, have experienced a previous injury, or someone that performs a lot of physical activity.

“If I can help one person and say you’ll make it through this, go to them, they will help you. I would help you to let you see what it is like on the other side of the fence when someone goes through so much injury and trauma and then in turn, feels like I do. If you can just meet one doctor, please meet Dr. de Moura.”

“I was having severe chronic back pain daily. This went on for almost fifteen years. As soon as I met Dr. Macagno I said, “that’s the guy.” I eventually had a spinal fusion L4/5 and S1. This was a ten-hour procedure. I exceeded both Dr. Macagno and the hospital staff expectations. Instead of walking a few steps, I easily walked the full length of the hospital halls and climbed stairs almost immediately after surgery. I am so happy to have met Dr. Macagno. I sing his praises every day and I always post on social media about how amazing I am doing every year on the anniversary of my surgery.”

“My reason for writing to you is to express my appreciation for the concern and encouragement you gave me following my surgery. Your visits to me early in the morning and your careful supervision of my recovery were a strong indication of the genuine concern you have for me.

Dr.v is a great doctor !!! From day one he has accessed and managed my pain while acknowledging me not only as his patient but as a person as well. Every Dr office should have a Dr. V and the world for patients with pain would be a much better place. I haven’t had a Dr this great since Dr de Mourra who did my surgery In 2013. Thank you Dr de Mourra for referring me to a pain management dr who really cares for my needs as his patient. It has been a tough road . I can now honestly say the road I travel now as a pain patient is much smoother and manageable. Thank you Dr v and NYU.
Diagnosis of your existing knee condition is the first step towards the proper treatment. Most commonly, a doctor will be able to diagnose any knee pain during a physical exam. During this exam they will likely inspect the knee for any swelling, pain, or tenderness, as well as various physical tests to help better understand the magnitude of the pain in the affected area. For more chronic knee conditions, you may require a variety of other diagnostic tests which can include:
Blood work
X-Rays
CT scan
MRI
Ultrasound
To properly diagnose your knee condition and to determine a treatment plan that is appropriate for your specific condition, seeking professional care is the most effective way to begin relieving your painful symptoms.*
