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.

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 Huff did a total knee replacement for me in January 2018. He and all of his staff both at the hospital and during follow up visits were extremely efficient, polite, and accommodating to any concern I expressed. His physician assistant called me long distance upon finding a concern in my initial CAT scan that was a serious concern requiring abdominal surgery and a delay for the knee surgery. He was most concerned until my surgery was completed and quickly rescheduled knee surgery. I traveled

Aside from being a phenominal surgeon he shows great compassion for his patients. For anyone needing a knee or hip, you will not find a better surgeon.

Highly recommend Dr. Denehy's clear, concise explanation of what to expect from a knee replacement. He answered all questions from both of us.

Dr. V has scoped both of my knees then did a total replacement on one. Dealt with the early stages of severe shoulder joint damage and recommended the surgeon (outside her practice) who ultimately did the surgery. Extremely knowledgeable, caring, attentive. If you ever read her dictation notes you will find that she listened and retained everything you told her. I trust her implicitly and highly recommend her.

Dr. Vasicek explained every procedure and showed me my MRI so I could understand what was wrong and what she could do for me. I was really in pain and I needed someone to help me, she melted all my fears and took action. She checked on me often after surgery and I really felt that she understood. She really listened. Thanks to her, I am happy with my new Christmas Knee.

Highly Recommend for TKR's I am totally pleased with the care & treatment provided by Dr. Christensen and his team during the 15+ years I have been a patient. I had TKR's on both knees in past year & while the recovery was a challenging & painful process, I am 100% pleased with the results. He was always willing to listen to my concerns and questions. His PA's Matt & Evan are the best! And, Dr Christensen referred me to awesome Physical Therapists: Chris for in-home PT & Bethany for outpatient PT at Blue Grass Orthopedics.
