Common Causes of Knee Pain in Middlesex County

Understanding the source of your knee pain is the first step toward effective treatment. Dr. Dang evaluates each patient thoroughly to determine the underlying cause before recommending a treatment plan.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of knee pain in adults over 50. The cartilage that cushions the knee joint gradually wears away, leading to bone-on-bone contact, inflammation, and pain. Middlesex County’s aging population makes osteoarthritis one of the most frequent conditions Dr. Dang treats at the Edison office. Patients often describe a deep, aching pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest, along with stiffness that is worst in the morning.

Sports and Recreation Injuries

Middlesex County offers abundant opportunities for physical activity, from the Middlesex County Greenway trail system to community sports leagues at Johnson Park and Roosevelt Park. Running, basketball, soccer, and tennis are popular activities that place significant stress on the knee joint. Ligament sprains, meniscus tears, and patellar tendinitis are common injuries that bring patients to Dr. Dang’s office.

Occupational Knee Injuries

Edison and the surrounding area is a major employment hub with warehouse distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and construction sites. Workers who spend hours on their feet, climbing ladders, kneeling, or lifting heavy objects are at high risk for knee injuries. Workers’ compensation claims for knee injuries are among the most common occupational injury cases Dr. Dang handles.

Post-Surgical Knee Pain

Some patients continue to experience knee pain even after surgery, including total or partial knee replacement. This persistent post-surgical pain can be caused by nerve damage, scar tissue, or incomplete healing. Dr. Dang specializes in treating post-surgical knee pain with targeted nerve blocks and other interventional approaches.

Non-Surgical Knee Pain Treatments at Hudson Pain and Spine

Dr. Dang offers several advanced, non-surgical treatment options for knee pain at the Edison office:

• Corticosteroid Injections: Anti-inflammatory injections delivered directly into the knee joint under ultrasound guidance. These provide rapid relief from pain and swelling associated with osteoarthritis and inflammatory conditions.
• Hyaluronic Acid Injections (Viscosupplementation): These injections supplement the natural lubricating fluid in the knee joint, reducing friction and pain. Particularly effective for patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis.
• Genicular Nerve Block: A targeted injection that blocks the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals from the knee. This serves as both a diagnostic tool and a therapeutic treatment.
• Genicular Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation: For patients who respond well to genicular nerve blocks, this procedure uses heat to disable the pain-transmitting nerves for relief that can last 6 to 12 months or longer.
• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy: Uses your own blood platelets to promote healing in damaged knee tissue.

All knee treatments are performed using ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance to ensure the medication reaches the exact target.

Why Choose an Interventional Pain Specialist for Knee Pain

Many patients with knee pain are told their only options are medication or surgery. An interventional pain specialist like Dr. Dang offers a middle path. These targeted treatments can provide significant relief and improved function without the risks, recovery time, and costs associated with surgery. For many patients, interventional treatments delay or even eliminate the need for knee replacement.
