Does excessive knee pain always needs surgery?

“80% of patients with knee osteoarthritis DON’T need knee replacement surgery.”

Yes! You read that right.

For many people, knee pain instantly triggers the thought of surgery. But here’s the truth most people don’t know:
Knee osteoarthritis progresses in stages, and only Stage 4 truly requires surgical intervention.

With just a simple standing (weight-bearing) X-ray, your orthopedic or joint replacement specialist can accurately assess your condition:

✅ Stage 1 to 3: These early to moderate stages are often very well managed with non-surgical treatments like physiotherapy, medications, weight management, or lifestyle modifications.

✅ Stage 4: This is the stage where joint space is severely reduced and mobility is highly compromised. In such cases, surgery may be recommended.

So before jumping to conclusions or living in fear, take this important step:

📌 Get a proper diagnosis.
📌 Consult a trusted orthopedic expert.
📌 Explore all your options.
