Many times, what patients often encounter is that they do not receive complete information about treatment or pain management when they go to see the doctor. Even though it is a small thing, it can have an effect on the symptoms from good to bad. This is especially true for knees, which many patients misunderstand or do not know at all, either because the doctor did not tell them because the patient did not ask or because the doctor forgot. Today, we will give you 5 examples of issues that we often encounter.

1. Pain, swelling, redness, and heat are caused by blood vessels expanding in the inflamed area. The more heat we give, the more blood will flow, causing more swelling.

2. Kicking your legs and swinging your toes only increases the strength of your thigh muscles, which does not reduce the pain during the exercise. Some people may experience more pain than before.

3. Apply cold compresses. According to research, to be beneficial, apply cold compresses for at least 15 minutes and no more than 20 minutes.

4. The intermediate plate that the doctor puts in after knee replacement surgery has a shelf life. When the time comes, it must be replaced, removed, or reoperated.

5. Taking dietary supplements can be absorbed very little because it has to go through multiple organs and digestion processes and is absorbed slowly throughout the body, resulting in little or no specific treatment results.
