Why Does Your Knee Keep Giving Way?
As a Consultant Orthopaedic and Knee Surgeon I treat many patients with difficult knee problems.

A common problem that affects many of my patients is the feeling of their knee “giving way”. This often happens unexpectedly and can be painful, although sometimes it is not. It causes instability and can affect everyday life, they lose confidence in their knee and it can get in the way of them doing the things they enjoy such as running, taking the dog for a walk or having a kick about with their kids in the garden.

Many things can cause this troublesome problem the following are some examples from my patients.

Ep 26 Knee Deep with Dr Stables! The My Knee Doc Podcast

This episode from My Knee Doc explores the connection between menopause and musculoskeletal pain. It explains how hormonal changes during menopause, particularly the decrease in estrogen, can significantly impact bone and joint health. The discussion covers:
Bone Density: Estrogen plays a vital role in maintaining bone density. Its decline during menopause can lead to bone loss and increase the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
Joint Pain: Menopause can exacerbate existing joint pain or even trigger new pain. This is due to the impact of estrogen on cartilage health and inflammation.
Muscle Weakness: Hormonal fluctuations can also contribute to muscle weakness, which can further impact joint stability and increase the risk of injury.
Inflammation: Menopause can lead to increased inflammation in the body, contributing to joint pain and stiffness.
The episode aims to help women understand these changes and provides insights into managing musculoskeletal pain during menopause, including lifestyle modifications, exercise, and potential treatment options. It emphasizes the importance of seeking professional medical advice for personalized management strategies.
