What is Extreme Hip and Knee Pain?

Extreme hip and knee pain usually occurs due to severe damage to the joint structures, most commonly caused by advanced osteoarthritis. As the protective cartilage wears away, the bones rub against each other, resulting in intense pain, stiffness, and reduced movement.

This pain may affect the hip, knee, or both, and can greatly limit a person's ability to walk, stand, or carry out routine activities.

Common symptoms include:

When medications, physiotherapy, and other non-surgical treatments fail to provide relief in advanced joint damage, joint replacement surgery, such as Total Hip Replacement, is often the most effective treatment to relieve pain and restore movement.
