Is there a test for arthritis in knees?

Question

My knees have been hurting me for a long time, especially when I climb stairs. The doctor mentioned it could be arthritis. Is there a special test they do to check for arthritis specifically in the knees?

I was so worried my knee cracking sound was severe arthritis. Usually, an X-ray of the knees is the first thing doctors do, but sometimes they also order blood tests to rule out rheumatoid issues. It's best to get it checked so you don't stress.

Haan na, knee pain is very troublesome. Usually, doctors take a simple X-ray of the knees to check for gap reduction, ho na. Go to a good orthopedist and they will guide you properly.

I ignored my knee pain for two years thinking it was just weakness, and now it has become severe osteoarthritis. Please don't repeat my mistake. Go get a proper knee X-ray and consult a specialist immediately.

Yes, doctors generally perform a physical examination of the knee and advise a simple X-ray to diagnose arthritis. Don't worry, the checkup is very simple and straightforward.

Rohan Malhotra · Answer

Haan, bilkul test hota hai na. Doctors pehle ek physical checkup karte hain aur fir knee ka X-ray likhte hain gap dekhne ke liye. Jyada tension mat lo, normal orthopedist ko dikha lo ek baar.
