Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a pain specialist for my knee pain symptoms?
You should see a pain specalist like Dr. Ali for your knee pain symptoms if you experience persistent pain, swelling, or stiffness that doesn’t improve with rest or over-the-counter treatments. Additionally, if you have difficulty walking, bearing weight, or if your knee gives way, it’s important to seek medical advice.
What are some of the most common knee pain causes?
Some common causes of knee pain include arthritis, ligament injuries (such as ACL tears), meniscus tears, bursitis, tendinitis, and overuse injuries. Other factors can include obesity, previous injuries, and certain structural abnormalities in the knee.
Are you able to prescribe pain medication for knee pain?
Dr. Ali is a board-certified neurologist who specializes in pain management and can prescribe medication to help relieve knee pain. However, Dr. Ali’s approach rarely includes medication, and he seeks to address your pain at the source rather than mitigate it short-term. He will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that may include injections, physical therapy, or other treatments depending on your specific needs.
