What Is Chronic Knee Pain?

Chronic knee pain is ongoing discomfort that persists for three months or longer. It commonly results from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, meniscus tears, tendonitis or past injuries. As the cartilage wears down over time, bones may begin to rub against each other, causing inflammation, stiffness and pain that worsens with activity and age.

Chronic Knee Pain Symptoms

  • Persistent aching, swelling or tenderness in the knee joint
  • Pain that worsens after standing, walking, or climbing stairs
  • Stiffness and worsened range of motion in the knee
  • Clicking, popping, or grinding sensations during movement
  • Difficulty fully straightening or bending the knee

How We Treat Chronic Knee Pain

At Orange County Interventional Radiology, we specialize in genicular artery embolization (GAE), a groundbreaking procedure that reduces pain by blocking blood flow to inflamed areas of the knee, providing significant, long-term relief for patients with osteoarthritis. This targeted treatment offers an alternative to knee replacement surgery with minimal downtime.
