Knee Pain

Knee pain is a common condition that affects people of all ages. It can be caused by an injury or disease of the knee joint or any structure surrounding the knee. Knee pain can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that can limit your mobility and quality of life.

Causes of Knee Pain:

Injuries: The knee joint is one of the most commonly injured joints in the body. Knee injuries can occur due to sudden trauma, such as a fall or a sports injury, or due to repetitive stress, such as from overuse.

Arthritis: Arthritis is a common cause of knee pain, particularly in older adults. Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout are some of the common types of arthritis that can affect the knee joint.

Tendinitis: Tendinitis is inflammation of the tendons that attach the muscles to the bones. It can be caused by overuse or injury and can lead to knee pain.

Bursitis: Bursitis is inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joints. It mayss occur in the knee and cause pain and swelling.

Meniscus tears: The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage that acts as a shock absorber between the bones in the knee joint. Tears in the meniscus can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness in the knee.

Symptoms of Knee Pain:

The symptoms of knee pain can vary depending on the underlying cause. Some common symptoms include:

Pain and stiffness in the knee joint
Swelling and redness around the knee
Limited range of motion in the knee joint
Grinding or popping sounds in the knee joint
Weakness or instability in the knee

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Kneeman took over my care about a year ago, though I have been under KPA's care for about 6 years now.

I started with Dr. Gupta.  I had been unable to work due to Occipital Neuralgia (diagnosed just before I came to Dr. Gupta), and Dr. Gupta got me back to work in about 3 years, which was an amazing feat!

With my treatment plan in place, and Dr. Gupta spending less time at the pain clinic in Ottawa, I started seeing others in his practice.  They were great doctors!  But I never felt the same level of engagement with them as I had felt with Dr. Gupta.

Then I found Dr. Kneeman!!

I am always a nervous wreck when I see someone new, but Dr. Kneeman is awesome!  Calm as a cucumber while still being very engaged!  He's very thorough and very practiced with the tools of his trade!

When we decided it was time to renew my RFA (radiofrequency ablation) and we went to do the nerve-block tests, Dr. Kneeman prevented me from experiencing potentially terrifying side-effects!

There had been a miscommunication from the last time I had nerve block done (not with KPM) and I was not supposed to be taking OTC aspirin for a week prior to the blocks!  (Which I had been as I had no idea!)

Dr. Kneeman is the one who discovered this, through the nurse asking him about Ibuprofen that I had taken earlier the day before so he came in to talk to me.

We could not do the nerve block that day, but I was, and am, incredibly grateful that he caught the issue before it could become a terrifying experience!

Yesterday I had my RFA with him, and he was just as awesome as ever!  It helped that I knew I was in amazingly competent hands, so it seemed like no time at all I was back at home, feeling better already!

TlDr:  I started with Dr. Gupta (who remains awesome), but I am also ecstatically happy that I am now Dr. Kneeman's patient.  Both doctors are absolutely incredible and I am so, so grateful to and for them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Doctors and nursing staff are so wonderful here. They listen to you and work diligently to make you more comfortable.  I have lived with an enormous amount of pain for too long. Washing dishes,  cooking, getting into my bed and sleeping ,and several minor activities are so painful for me. The doctors here have worked with me and have given me treatment that has made an enormous difference in my life. I recommend them 100% over any other place you could go.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been going to see Dr. GUPTA for several years. He interested me in using a Nevro Device for the pain in my legs & back. Many years ago I had back surgery & over the years the pain had gotten almost unbearable.  The device was a godsend.  The follow ups by Nevro people were great & helpful. The staff are very helpful and friendly.
