Knee pain while climbing stairs is a common complaint and can occur due to knee arthritis, cartilage wear, muscle weakness, previous injuries, or overuse. Osteoarthritis becomes more common with age and can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling around the knee.
The pain may be felt when going up or down stairs, standing from a chair, squatting, or walking for long periods. Other symptoms may include stiffness, swelling, clicking, or reduced knee movement.
Maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active, and performing appropriate strengthening exercises can help support knee function. For persistent symptoms, an orthopedic evaluation can help identify the underlying cause and guide treatment.
According to Dr. Susheel Sharma, Joint Replacement & Orthopedic Surgeon, early evaluation of persistent knee pain can help determine whether the problem can be managed with lifestyle changes and physiotherapy or requires further treatment.
If knee pain is affecting your ability to climb stairs, walk, or perform daily activities, consult Dr. Susheel Sharma at Shree Medishine Hospital for a comprehensive orthopedic evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
