“Why is This Happening to Me?” or “Why Am I Still Suffering With Hip or Knee Pain After Putting Up With It For 6 Months (Maybe More)?”

When your hip or knee aches, it is easy to think that it is just age or wear and tear, or that it will go away on its own. Maybe you cannot point to exactly why it started, but it does not seem to be getting better.

Are stairs becoming a challenge? Are you changing the way you walk, skipping a favorite class or wondering whether you can start strength training? Those questions deserve an individual conversation, not another guess.

Does This Sound Like You?

You thought the pain would ease off, yet weeks later the same movement still catches you. A knee support or a day of rest changes things only briefly. Friends say everyone has sore joints as they age, while different advice about walking and exercise leaves you confused.

Maybe it is your hip, maybe your knee, or maybe both feel different. Dr. Marlon Ming, PT, DPT, can consider what is relevant at a full clinical visit and help you make sense of your own movement.

Has That Ever Happened To You?

You are trying to do the right thing, but do not know whether to rest, walk more, use a brace or try the exercises somebody suggested. It is frustrating to put off family plans or the gym because you are worried your hip or knee will stop you in your tracks.

If that sounds familiar, let us start with the questions you have rather than asking you to accept pain as a fact of life.

If You're Currently Living With Hip or Knee Pain, Here's 7 More Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:

  1. You thought it would go away on its own, but it did not.
  2. You have rested, but the same ache returns when you get moving again.
  3. A friend or family member called it a normal part of aging, so you have postponed asking for help.
  4. You have tried a knee support or brace, yet stairs or longer walks still worry you.
  5. You have heard conflicting advice about whether to avoid exercise or push through it.
  6. Hip discomfort may change the way you walk, while your knee gets sore too, and you are not sure what is connected.
  7. You tried exercises online, but did not know whether they suited your own hip, knee or goals.

“What Can You Do To Get Rid Of Hip or Knee Pain?”

  1. First, make a decision about getting help. If your hip or knee keeps changing what you can do, give yourself time to ask what is contributing.
  2. Next, do the right exercises. The right progression depends on your own assessment, not a routine meant for somebody else's joint.
  3. Think beyond resting or avoiding every step. Ask about a balance of movement and recovery that is appropriate for your situation.
  4. Get real, hands-on physical therapy. Your 50-minute clinical visit at ANTIOX is one-on-one with Dr. Ming, without a technician handoff.

How Can Choosing To See A Physical Therapist at ANTIOX Help You Get Rid Of Hip or Knee Pain?

Rather than assuming every sore knee or hip needs the same answer, Dr. Ming can assess what matters for you. That may help you work toward:

  • Understanding relevant movement and strength factors for your hip, knee and daily life.
  • Finding exercises that fit your evaluation instead of guessing online.
  • Talking through stair climbing, walking, getting up from a chair and your return to training.
  • Exploring your options with your healthcare team before deciding about braces, medication, injections or surgery.
  • Working toward more comfortable time with family and activities you have been missing.
