Knee pain FAQs
Do I need a knee replacement?
Knee pain won’t necessarily result in the need for a total knee replacement, as it depends on the root cause of the pain. For some cases, the recommended treatment may be a course of Physical Therapy or injections, but, where the joint itself becomes severely damaged, it may be necessary to consider replacement surgery. Your Consultant will discuss the best options for your treatment with you.
Where would my treatment take place?
Most outpatient or follow up appointments, and some Physical Therapy treatments, are available at either KIMS Hospital or Sevenoaks Medical Centre, regardless of where you had your initial consultation. If you need knee surgery, this will take place at KIMS Hospital in Maidstone.
