Knee pain & injuries

Evaluation of knee pain and activity-related concerns in Farmington, CT. Discuss your options with Dr. Patel.

Start with your symptoms and activity

Pain with stairs, squats, running, or court sports can have different explanations. Describe swelling, catching, a specific injury, or a change in training.

Clarify what needs treatment

Your evaluation may include questions about prior arthritis or meniscus diagnoses, tendon symptoms, imaging, and rehabilitation. An injection is not appropriate for every knee problem.

Considering PRP for knee osteoarthritis?

Review candidacy, evidence, and alternatives in our PRP for knee arthritis guide. You can also request a second opinion on a proposed treatment.

Could regenerative care be part of the discussion?

A consultation can review whether PRP or another approach is reasonable for your diagnosis, together with rehabilitation, other nonsurgical options, or a referral when needed. Evidence varies by condition, and no procedure is guaranteed to restore tissue or return you to sport.

Bring the details that matter

Prepare relevant imaging reports, prior treatment records, a medication list, and the activities you want to work toward.
