When should a patient come in to be evaluated for knee pain? | Dr. Prodoehl

Hi, my name is John Prodoehl. I'm a surgeon with Florida Orthopaedic Associates, and I'll answer some patient questions.
A patient recently asked me when they should be evaluated for knee pain. And the answer is, if it affects your quality of life or impedes your activities of daily living, then it should be evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon.
