X-ray + Assessment for Knee Arthritis Pain @ $100

Have you done an X-ray For Knee Arthritis?

An X-ray is the basic required scan for someone with knee arthritis.

Many people are told their knee pain is due to “arthritis”, “ligament sprains”, “age”, “being overweight”, “overuse”, “cartilage degeneration”, “wear and tear” or “‘meniscus tear” without any proof or confirmation.

They simply try repeated painkillers, gels, knee massages, exercises, glucosamine supplements, knee supports and alternative treatments without improvement.

It is important to ask how a treatment can work if your diagnosis is not confirmed.

The 2 Week Rule For Knee Arthritis Pain:

While mild cases of knee arthritis can improve with simple treatments, if there is no obvious improvement in your condition within 2 weeks of any treatment, always ask WHY?

Knee pain can sometimes have serious causes such as stress fractures, knee infection and even cancer.

If knee pain is persistent, severe, has not improved with repeated treatments, or is even getting worse, an X-ray is required.

A delayed diagnosis can allow many causes of knee pain to get worse, sometimes to the point where surgery becomes unavoidable.

It will also prevent you from getting the most effective treatment.

Knee pain can make it hard to walk on the stairs, squat, kneel, pray and even slow down your walking.

This can result in unnecessary suffering, as well as limit our ability to work and enjoy our social lives.

The Good News For Knee Arthritis Treatment:

There are currently many good treatments for knee arthritis available in Singapore.

• For people who prefer something simple, convenient and cheap, collagen based joint supplements and nanotechnology gels are very popular.
• For people with arthritis affecting mostly the medial (inner side) knee confirmed on an X-ray, a particular knee support can quickly help you walk much better by re-distributing the pressure on the knee.
• For people who prefer an injection, there are new injections available with good, long-lasting results.
• For people who prefer a proven non-invasive approach, specialized physiotherapy techniques are known to work well.

Even better news is that the cost of these treatments can often be claimed with insurance.

Some people delay doing an X-ray due to worry about the price or find it troublesome to get an appointment.
