Dr. Ankkur Kumar
Is knee pain stopping you from walking, climbing stairs or sleeping at night? You are not alone and you do not have to live with it.
Knee pain rarely arrives all at once. It builds quietly — a stiff morning here, a skipped walk there — until it starts shaping your day. If any of this feels familiar, you are in the right place.
You wake up every morning with stiff, aching knees.
Climbing stairs feels like a challenge you dread every day.
You have tried medicines and rest but the pain keeps coming back.
You are worried it might be serious but do not know where to start.
Dr. Ankkur Kumar helps patients just like you find lasting relief.
Your knee is one of the most complex joints in your body. It carries your full body weight every time you stand, walk or climb.
When something goes wrong inside the knee — whether it is the cartilage, ligaments, bones or surrounding tissues — pain is the first signal your body sends.
Knee pain is not just an age problem. It affects people in their 30s, 40s and 50s too, especially those with an active lifestyle, a history of injury or a family history of arthritis.
Ignoring knee pain rarely makes it better. Early diagnosis and the right treatment gives significantly better results than waiting.
The good news is that not all knee pain needs surgery. With the right evaluation, most patients get lasting relief through non-surgical treatment.
From everyday wear and tear to sports injuries, here are the most common reasons patients come to us for knee pain.
The most common cause of long-term knee pain in adults over 40. Cartilage wears down over time causing pain and stiffness.
ACL, PCL or MCL tears from sports or sudden movement. Causes instability, swelling and sharp pain.
Damaged cartilage causing pain, swelling and locking of the knee. Common in both athletes and older adults.
Inflammation of fluid sacs around the knee causing tenderness and swelling on the surface of the knee.
Impact or overuse injuries common in active individuals. Includes runner's knee, jumper's knee and IT band syndrome.
Lingering pain and stiffness that persists after a previous knee or leg injury or fracture.
Your pain, your history, your lifestyle. Dr. Ankkur takes time to understand everything before suggesting anything.
The right tests, the right imaging, the right answer. No guesswork. No unnecessary procedures.
Medicines, physiotherapy and injections are always tried first. Surgery is never the first recommendation.
If surgery is needed, Dr. Ankkur will explain exactly why, what to expect and how fast you will recover. You will never feel pressured.
No. Many people are helped by non-surgical treatment such as medicines, physiotherapy and injections. Your doctor will advise on the right option after examining you.
Knee pain is not just an age problem. It affects people in their 30s, 40s and 50s too, especially those with an active lifestyle, a history of injury or a family history of arthritis.
It is a good idea to get checked if the pain lasts more than a few days, keeps coming back, comes with swelling, or makes walking and stairs difficult. Pain after an injury should be assessed promptly.
After a physical examination, your doctor may advise an X-ray and, only if needed, an MRI or other tests to find the cause of the pain.
