🦵 **Knee Pain = Arthritis? Think Again! ❌**
Not every knee pain means your cartilage is worn out or that you have arthritis.
Pain can come from several different structures — the **kneecap, meniscus, tendons, ligaments, muscles**, or even problems referred from the **spine or hip**.
That’s why an X-ray alone shouldn’t decide your treatment. Your scan findings need to be understood alongside your **symptoms and clinical examination**.
So before assuming you need a **knee replacement**, first find out what’s actually causing your pain. 🩺
