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
  • Patellar Tendonitis (Jumper's Knee)
  • 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 scans 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

Not only is Dr. Denehy an outstanding surgeon but he has an amazing bedside manner. We went to see if after consulting another surgeon and liked what he had to say. My mother needed a full knee replacement at 85 years old. I was concerned with her being put under general anesthesia due to complications for someone her age. Dr. Denehy suggested a spinal which was the perfect solution! The other surgeon stated my mother would have to go to rehab for two weeks, Dr. Denehy said she could go home as long as someone stayed with her for 48 hours. He is concerned with possible infection at a rehab. The nurses at Baptist raved about him, said he had the lowest infection rate in the hospital and they would recommend him for their family. Anyway, 9 weeks post opt, my 85-year-old mother has completely recovered and no longer needs to do physical therapy. 2 weeks post-op she could walk without her walker

Excellent We are both around 60 years of age and while we have been healthy (knock wood) most of our lives, we have still seen a fair amount of doctors and their staff. This is by far the friendliest and most competent office we have ever been in. You are greeted with a smile by a wonderful staff, not a vacant stare or rude comment anywhere. Each person we interacted with knew their job and answered our questions quickly. Dr. Huff is so impressive, looks you in the eye and doesn’t make you feel like he is in a hurry to see his next patient. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. Jeff has been putting off knee replacement surgery for a lot of years and when we left Dr. Huff’s office he told me that after meeting with Dr. Huff, he felt good about having the surgery and wasn’t nearly as nervous as he was before going in.
