Why Do My Knees Hurt?
Your knees work hard for you every day. They carry your weight, help you move with ease, and keep you steady with every step, bend, and turn.
It’s a complex joint made up of bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and menisci, working together to give you stability and support.
When even one part is strained or worn down, it may lead to pain or stiffness. Some of the common causes of knee pain may include:
- Arthritis: Wear-and-tear or inflammation in the joint
- Ligament injuries: ACL or MCL tears
- Meniscus tears: Damage to the cartilage that cushions your knee
- Tendonitis or bursitis: Inflammation in the soft tissues
- Patellar instability: When the kneecap slips or shifts out of place
Other causes may include fractures or old injuries that never fully healed, or pain that radiates to the hip or back.
When Should You See a Knee Doctor?
Knee pain isn’t always something you should brush off as “just an ache.” Sometimes, it’s your body’s way of telling you that something needs attention.
You may want to see a knee specialist if you notice:
- Pain that lasts longer than two weeks
- Swelling or stiffness that doesn’t go away
- Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or bending your knee
- Feeling like your knee may give out or is unsteady
- Pain after a fall, twist, or sudden injury
- Grinding, popping, or clicking sensations inside the joint
- Pain when putting weight on your leg
If any of these sound familiar, don’t try to push through the discomfort. Dr. Pamela Mehta can help you identify the cause of your pain and guide you toward the right treatment.

I was in an accident that broke the metatarsals in my foot and the ER said surgery would be likely be necessary and would need to be done within a week or two. Her office went out of their way to get me in the next day. She was very detailed and thoughtful in her diagnosis and recommended a conservative approach of rest and physical therapy before going to surgery. I just had my 4 month follow up and things have healed up nicely and I am walking in shoes again. Everything about her office is fantastic. They answer the phones when you call, get you in and out of your appointment on time, and truly care about their patients.

After injuring my meniscus, I visited several orthopedic specialists who all recommended surgery. Seeking another opinion, I consulted Dr. Pamela Mehta at Resilience Orthopedics. Dr. Mehta stood out immediately with her thorough approach. She took time to understand my specific case and expertly diagnosed my condition. Rather than rushing to surgery, she confidently recommended PRP injections combined with specialized "knee over toe" exercises. Her intelligence and expertise were evident in how she explained the science behind each treatment component. The PRP injections were administered with precision, and she personally guided my rehabilitation exercises. Today, I'm completely pain-free without having undergone surgery. Dr. Mehta's exceptional combination of medical knowledge and genuine compassion made all the difference in my recovery. Her patient-centered approach and willingness to explore non-surgical options truly set her apart as an outstanding orthopedic specialist. If I do need surgery in the future, I would not hesitate to go here.Posted on Maneesh GogiaApril 16, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

She was compassionate and caring and her noninvasive plan with physical therapy was very effective for me and exactly what I needed !
Knee Conditions We Treat
ACL Tear
Have you ever felt your knee give way after a sudden twist or jump? That instability might be an ACL tear.
This injury can make even simple movements feel unsteady. Dr. Mehta uses advanced reconstruction techniques to restore stability and guide you toward full recovery.
Meniscus Tear
The meniscus cushions and supports your knee, but a tear can make bending, squatting, or walking painful.
Using minimally invasive procedures, Dr. Mehta repairs the damage, restoring movement and stability.
Knee Osteoarthritis
Arthritis gradually wears down the cartilage that protects your knee, making daily activities, like climbing stairs or standing for long periods, painful.
Dr. Mehta offers a treatment plan that may include physical therapy, targeted injections, or knee replacement in more advanced cases to relieve pain and help you move comfortably again.
Patellar Conditions
Your kneecap plays an important role in running, jumping, and climbing. When it’s misaligned or inflamed, these movements can become difficult.
Dr. Mehta offers conservative treatments and targeted injections to restore your natural, balanced movement.
