When to See a Doctor for Knee Pain
If your knee pain persists or is accompanied by swelling, redness, difficulty walking, or you can’t bear weight, it’s time to consult a physician. The same holds true if you hear a popping sound just before the knee pain begins. Do not try to “tough out” severe knee pain. That can lead to serious joint issues.
