Introduction
Knee pain can be a minor inconvenience—or a warning signal of something more serious. If you’re constantly dealing with pain or stiffness in your knees, it might be time to consult an orthopedic surgeon.
👉 Dr. Rameshwar Kumar has successfully completed 1000+ knee replacement surgeries and is considered the best orthopedic doctor in Siwan, Bihar, and Delhi NCR. Let’s look at the top 5 early signs that may indicate it’s time to consider a knee replacement.
Top 5 Signs You May Need Knee Replacement Surgery
1. Persistent Knee Pain
If knee pain affects your sleep or daily routine, it could mean cartilage loss or bone-on-bone contact. This is a key sign of osteoarthritis or joint degeneration.

2. Difficulty Walking or Climbing Stairs
When climbing stairs feels like a workout or you depend on support, it’s time for a knee evaluation.
3. Knee Swelling That Doesn’t Go Away
If your knee often appears swollen or inflamed even without physical activity, it may be a sign of advanced joint disease.
4. Reduced Range of Motion
Stiffness or inability to fully bend/stretch your knee might mean cartilage damage. This can seriously affect your mobility and independence.
5. No Relief from Medication or Therapy
Tried physiotherapy, painkillers, and home remedies—but nothing works? This suggests your condition has progressed, and surgery might be the best option.
