Are You Experiencing Osteoarthritis Knee Symptoms?

Knee osteoarthritis can manifest through a range of symptoms, such as knee pain, stiffness, and swelling in the affected joint. The progression of these symptoms is typically gradual, developing slowly over time. If you are currently struggling with knee pain or other signs of osteoarthritis, American Knee Pain Centers is here to help. Our affiliated interventional radiologists will carefully assess your condition in a secure and comfortable outpatient setting to determine if you have some of the following common symptoms associated with osteoarthritis of the knee.

Knee Crepitus

Crepitus refers to a grinding or grating sensation experienced in the knee during movement, occasionally accompanied by an audible crackling sound.

Knee Instability

Knee instability is characterized by a sense of weakness or inadequate support in the knee, giving the impression that it could buckle or give way.

Knee Locking

Knee locking manifests as a sensation of the knee joint temporarily getting stuck or “locking” during movement, contributing to limited mobility.

Knee Pain

Pain in the knee can range from a persistent, dull ache to a sudden, sharp discomfort. Pain can be felt on the inside, outside, or front of the knee.

Knee Stiffness

Knee stiffness can occur in the morning for at least 30 minutes or after sitting for long periods of time. It may be difficult to bend or straighten the knee fully, limiting your range of motion.

Knee Swelling

PAD restricts the blood flow in the arteries of legs, leading to poor circulation.

Knee Replacement Alternative: Genicular Artery Embolization

Genicular artery embolization allows you to achieve relief from knee pain without the need for surgery. GAE is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat knee pain in patients with osteoarthritis. It’s an effective alternative to knee replacement surgery and conservative treatment methods, such as cortisone shots, that have not provided adequate relief. If you are dealing with knee pain, GAE is the best way to reduce your knee pain without the risks of invasive surgery.

I like the doctor they were kind of pretty thorough he says that he could help me he found out the filter in my abdomen from the surgery I had in 1996 has been clogging my blood flow for 25 years and that’s causing the swelling at every other doctor told me was lymphedema it was not lymphedema it caused the lymphedema because no other doctor took the time or care enough to find out the reason for my leg swelling this doctor was the only one who finally found out and he’s going to see if you could put a stent inside the filter to open it up and and stop my legs from swelling hopefully this will all go good it hasn’t happened yet but I’ll keep you posted thankful for this docto I just pray and hope that it works otherwise I like the doctor very much

You may likely have to wait. Avoid anxiety and frustration. Schedule extra time for the visit. Allow for personal attention to your care needs once in the examination room. Friendly, nice staff and doctor puts you at ease. Bottom line: worth the wait!

I had a good experience with my procedure and Dr. Mobley’s follow-up calls are great. I’ve never had a doctor who has been so concerned about following up after a procedure to see how I’m doing and if there are any post-procedure problems I may have experienced (which there aren’t). I’d highly recommend Dr. Mobley.

He puts his patients before himself, returning calls and e-mails quickly. Not only is he kind and considerate, he is an excellent physician. I had to have a procedure that requires me to be awake, and he talked me through it and kept me at ease. If I could give him more stars, I would.
Super friendly, tentative, once in the procedure rm the sx staff made you feel comfortable, easy,+ answered all questions. David mobley, MD answered all my questions, very informative, caring. I felt confident in his care

This has been the best medical experience I’ve had in over thirty years. I was nervous to have a procedure after only knowing about my condition a year ago. They made this process so easy for me that I’m in shock that I had no pain, no discomfort thanks to an excellent doctor and professional staff! Thank you all and best of luck to your practice.

This was the best experience I have had in such a long time and I have had quite a few procedures in the past both in patient and out including the procedure I was currently present for. No other surgeon has been so kind, transparent, and gentle. Not only did he personally come out beforehand to provide me with education on my procedure, but he talked me through every step of the way and made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Not to mention his amazing staff! Despite being extremely nervous they kept me smiling and laughing throughout the whole process. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you so much guys!!
