How Long Should I Wait to See a Knee Doctor?

Greetings to all the denizens of Dallas and beyond! If you’ve ever taken an unexpected tumble, put in a bit too much time on the treadmill, or simply experienced the persistent and perplexing sensation of knee pain, this one’s for you. At Nortex Spine and Joint Institute, we’re here to answer your pressing question: “When should I see a knee doctor?”

 When To See a Doctor

Knee pain can be as mysterious as it is debilitating. While most of us might experience occasional discomfort, recognizing when it’s time to escalate the issue to a knee pain doctor or orthopedic specialist is crucial. Here are some instances when it’s advisable to consult a professional:

1. Persistent Pain: If your pain doesn’t improve after a week of rest and home care, it’s a signal to consult a specialist.

2. Swelling: Swelling that doesn’t subside within 48 hours needs attention.

3. Limited Mobility: If you’re struggling to walk, climb stairs, or participate in routine activities, it’s time to get that knee checked.

4. Obvious Abnormalities: Hearing a ‘pop’, or noticing your knee looks deformed? Don’t wait.

5. Intense Pain: If your knee hurts even when you’re at rest, sleeping, or you can’t bear weight on it, consult a doctor immediately.

Make a Medical Appointment

If you’ve noted any of the above issues, it’s essential to act quickly. Prompt intervention can prevent further complications, and in some cases, reduce recovery time. At Nortex Spine and Joint Institute, our team of dedicated orthopedic surgeons and specialists are ready to assist you. Don’t wait for the situation to exacerbate; early detection and treatment can make all the difference.

Self-care for Knee Pain

While waiting for your appointment or if your knee pain is relatively minor, there are a few home remedies you can employ:

1. Rest: Listen to your body. Sometimes, all your knee needs is a break.

2. Ice: Apply an ice pack for 15-20 minutes every 1-2 hours during the first 48 hours after injury. It can reduce pain and swelling.

3. Compression: Elastic compression wraps can prevent swelling and provide support.

4. Elevation: Prop up your injured knee on a pillow when you’re sitting or lying down to reduce swelling.

5. Over-the-Counter Pain Relievers: Non-prescription pain relievers can reduce pain and inflammation but always consult a pharmacist or doctor for recommendations.

Don’t let knee pain keep you sidelined from life’s adventures. Whether it’s taking a stroll in the beautiful parks of Dallas, dancing, or playing sports, ensure your knees are in prime condition. Remember, there’s no “right” time to see a doctor — if you’re in pain or concerned, it’s the right time.

At Nortex Spine and Joint Institute, our team of knee pain doctors, orthopedic specialists, and surgeons are committed to ensuring your optimal health and well-being. Don’t bear the discomfort; instead, stand up (on pain-free knees!) and take action today.

How is PRP Therapy different from Stem Cell Therapy?

The effectiveness of stem cell therapy depends entirely on the source.

🩸 PRP (from your blood) and bone marrow use your own cells—something your body can actually work with.
🚫 Donor cells like placenta or embryonic tissue? Often rejected or short-lived.
✅ Stick with what your body recognizes: itself.

💉 Worried about side effects from PRP? Here’s what to expect:

A little swelling or soreness is normal — and it’s actually a good sign. That’s your body kicking off the healing process. This is healing inflammation, not the kind you want to shut down.

No steroids. No anti-inflammatories. Just your body doing what it’s designed to do — recover.

📍Rotator cuff, meniscus, or chronic joint pain? PRP might be the natural solution you’ve been looking for.
