Knee and hip pain can make walking, stairs, work, exercise, and sleep harder than they should be. MyDoc Care evaluates knee and hip pain for patients dealing with injury, swelling, stiffness, overuse, and non-emergency pain.
These symptoms may be related to bursitis, strain, arthritis, tendon irritation, joint inflammation, sports injury, work injury, or pain after a fall or accident.
Common Knee and Hip Pain Symptoms
Patients often describe aching, sharp pain, swelling, stiffness, clicking, weakness, tenderness, or pain with walking. Hip pain may be felt in the groin, outer hip, buttock, or thigh. Knee pain may occur around the kneecap, inside or outside the knee, or behind the knee.
- Pain with walking, stairs, bending, or standing
- Swelling, warmth, stiffness, or tenderness
- Pain after sports, exercise, work, or a fall
- Hip pain on the outside of the hip or thigh
- Knee pain with instability or reduced movement
When Knee or Hip Pain Needs Medical Attention
Get evaluated if pain is worsening, swelling is significant, you cannot bear weight normally, pain follows an accident, or symptoms interfere with work, sleep, or daily activity. Seek emergency care for major trauma, deformity, severe swelling, fever with joint pain, or sudden inability to move the joint.
For non-emergency injuries, MyDoc Care can assess symptoms and connect care with sports injury care, pain management, or referral if needed.
