Description

What This Knee Consultation Covers

• Sharp pain after a twist, fall or sudden movement
• Swelling, warmth or puffiness around the knee joint
• Clicking, locking or giving way when walking or using stairs
• Overuse pain from work, gym, running or squatting
• Chronic stiffness or morning tightness that suggests early wear-and-tear / arthritis
• Knee pain linked to gout or uric acid flare

Who This Service Is For

• Patients with new knee injury or sudden swelling
• Patients with ongoing knee pain that keeps coming back during work or exercise
• Patients who feel unstable, cannot squat, or cannot climb stairs without pain
• Patients worried about possible ligament or meniscus involvement
• Patients with chronic knee load due to weight gain or occupational strain

How the Consultation & Assessment Works

1. History & Symptom Review
   The doctor asks how the pain started, what movement triggers it, whether it swells up after activity, and if you’ve had previous knee injuries.
2. Focused Knee Examination
   The knee is examined for tenderness, stability, range of motion, fluid build-up and ligament stress signs. The doctor looks for red flags that might need imaging (like X-ray or ultrasound) or urgent referral if something is torn or severely damaged.
3. Pain & Swelling Management
   You may receive prescription medication to control inflammation and pain, if clinically appropriate. You’ll also be guided on RICE-style support (rest, ice, compression, elevation) or offloading to protect the joint.
4. Activity / Load Advice
   You’ll get practical guidance on what to pause (deep squats, stairs, heavy lifting, running, kneeling) and what is still allowed so healing can start instead of constant re-irritation.
5. Follow-Up Plan
   The clinic will advise if you should return for review, if you may benefit from repeat assessment, chronic joint management, weight management, uric acid control (for gout knees), or possible procedural options if needed later.

Why Choose WeCare Clinic for Knee Assessment

• Immediate Pain Control – The goal is not “just rest it,” but targeted relief so you can walk, work and sleep better.
• Early Red Flag Detection – The exam helps tell the difference between routine strain and a possible serious tear that should not be ignored.
• Personalised Load Management – Advice is based on your actual job, activity level and body weight, not generic “don’t move.”
• Chronic Joint Support – If your knee pain is gout-related, weight-related or due to degeneration, WeCare Clinic can continue long-term management (uric acid control, weight control, pain plan) in the same clinic network.
• One-Stop Primary Care – You get consultation, medication plan and follow-up under one roof without immediately going to hospital A&E for every flare.
