Unfortunately, the knee, the largest joint in the human body, is prone to injury and can develop arthritis over time, leading to discomfort and pain. For those with an injured knee, even simple activities like getting out of bed can be excruciating, hindering their ability to lead an active lifestyle. This is a reality that many individuals face, and it's important to acknowledge the significant impact knee pain can have on daily activities. Knee pain is a common reason for individuals to consider treatment options.

What's Causing My Knee Pain?

Our board-certified orthopedic doctors and specialists can help you understand and treat your knee pain. Knee pain is widespread and can be caused by various factors, including:

  • New or aggravated knee injuries
  • Overuse or repetitive strain
  • Degenerative conditions
  • Tendonitis
  • Bursitis
  • Muscle imbalances or weaknesses
  • Poor biomechanics
  • Obesity
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Age

Serving the Lexington, KY community, Bluegrass Orthopedics can help diagnose and treat your knee pain. The longer your knee pain goes untreated, the higher your risk for surgery such as joint replacement. Get seen at our BGO Now Walk-in orthopedic clinic for an evaluation and treatment plan to maintain your knee health.

Orthopedic Knee Pain Diagnostics at Bluegrass Orthopaedics

Knee pain can significantly impact your mobility and quality of life. At Bluegrass Orthopaedics, our team is committed to pinpointing the exact cause of your discomfort so we can develop a personalized treatment plan. Here's what you can expect during a diagnostic visit:

We'll discuss your medical background, including past injuries, surgeries, and any existing medical conditions that could contribute to your knee pain. Our specialists will perform a meticulous physical exam of your knee, assessing swelling, tenderness, range of motion, stability, and any visible abnormalities.

Depending on certain factors, like when the pain started or if it was precipitated by an injury like a fall or sports injury, your orthopedic specialist may order imaging like X-rays, MRI scans, or CT to visualize internal structures like bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and soft tissues. These tests help identify potential issues such as fractures, arthritis, ligament tears, or cartilage damage.

Our friendly and proficient staff and comprehensive on-site imaging services (MRI, X-ray, and Ultrasound) streamline the diagnostic process. Our high-resolution MRI scanners ensure thorough evaluations for various knee concerns.

By combining these steps, we aim to provide a swift and accurate diagnosis, paving the way for a personalized treatment plan to get you back on your feet pain-free.

Dr. Christiansen really gave me a new lease on life when he performed my total knee replacement. I am now able to do so many things I love to do but thought were lost to me.

Dr Christensen is an amazing surgeon, he saved my leg from amputation and replaced my knee. He is a kind and gentle man. He is very thorough and tells you straightforward answers. He is by far the best Dr I have encountered in my 62 years. Dr Christensen is an amazing surgeon, he saved my leg from amputation and replaced my knee. He is a kind and gentle man.

Dr. Huff is a very personable and friendly orthopedist yet professional. He helped ease my fear of getting knee injections for severe pain and now my knees don’t hurt nearly as much. Highly recommend his services!

I’m not quite 2 months out of a revision on my left knee (2nd revision following botched surgeries by 2 Louisville orthopedists). I can’t say enough good things about how good Dr. Denehy is. He listens and is very concerned with the patients wellbeing. After having 2 other surgeons mess up my knee, I’m very appreciative that Dr. Denehy fixed their mistakes.

He is the best! I’m completely satisfied with my bilateral knee replacement that was done in 2001. Yesterday I had X-rays and my knees are still perfect! He has a compassionate bedside manner and takes a keen interest in his patients. He is the best! I’m completely satisfied with my bilateral knee replacement that was done in 2001.

She took her time with me, explained everything & answered all of my questions without being in a hurry. She also addressed my knee problem that day & made the treatment plan to where most places the first visit would have only been a consult & I would have had to wait weeks to get back in. I would highly recommend Dr Vasicek.

I prayed all spring and summer for god to lead someone across my path with the best of best doctor that was a godly man/woman for my knees ,I'm so thankful he answered my prayers, he was not only a Christian but he prayed for the patient and prayed for his staff that helped him during surgery. I called and got right in to see Dr Christian Christensen ...I loved him, trusted him, loved his staff and three days later he partially replaced one of my knees !! I would highly recommend this wonderful doctor
