FAQ about Knee Pain
Mild strains may improve with rest and home care — but if pain, swelling, or stiffness lasts more than two weeks, it’s best to get assessed to rule out deeper issues like cartilage or ligament injuries.
A GP (general practitioner) can manage mild cases and provide basic pain relief, but a specialist like Dr Dennis Ng offers:
On-the-spot diagnostic imaging (X-rays, MRI referrals) to identify the exact cause of pain.
Specialised examination to assess ligaments, cartilage, and alignment issues.
Targeted treatment plans — from physiotherapy and injections to minimally invasive surgery if needed.
In short, seeing a specialist saves time by moving straight to an accurate diagnosis and evidence-based treatment plan.
Yes. In most cases, Dr Yong Ren recommends non-surgical treatments first, such as physiotherapy, joint injections, or medications to reduce pain and inflammation.
Recovery time depends on your condition and the type of surgery. Minor arthroscopic procedures may take a few weeks, while ligament reconstruction (like ACL repair) can require a few months of structured rehabilitation.
We routinely treat conditions such as:
Meniscus and ligament tears (ACL, MCL, LCL, PCL)
Cartilage damage or degeneration
Osteoarthritis of the knee
Knee fractures or alignment issues
Patellar (kneecap) pain or tendinitis
Same-day or next-day appointments are often available. Our staff will do their best to accommodate urgent or severe pain cases.
You’ll leave with a preliminary diagnosis, treatment options, estimated recovery timeline, and cost breakdown, so you can decide at your own pace.
