What to expect from your doctor
Body:
Your doctor is likely to ask you questions, including:
- Are your symptoms getting worse?
- How severe is your pain?
- Does your pain occur before, during or after your workouts — or is it constant?
- Is the pain associated with knee swelling, locking or buckling?
- Are your symptoms affecting your ability to exercise or to walk up stairs or do other activities?
- Have you tried at-home treatments? Has anything helped?
