Review of knee pain treatment at Yonsei Tanttan Orthopedics in Paju

It has been several years since I started experiencing knee pain, but since it was temporary—occurring only during long drives or when I felt I had overexerted myself—I dismissed it, thinking it was just due to physical exertion. However, starting last year, the pain began to occur frequently during my daily life. After driving long distances during the recent holidays, the pain in my knee persisted for several days, prompting me to visit the hospital. At the reception desk, I filled out a simple card and briefly explained how I came to visit and the condition of my knee. I was told the expected wait time was about 40 minutes. After sitting and waiting for about 20 minutes, my name was called, and they suggested taking an X-ray first while I waited. The test results indicated signs of aging, and they said that if left untreated, degenerative arthritis would soon begin. Fortunately, they said my case was in the pre-stage. After leaving the examination room and waiting for a short while, I went into the treatment room to receive a cartilage injection. Since it was my first time getting a cartilage injection, I was honestly scared it would hurt, but surprisingly, it was much less painful than an injection in the buttocks. I am currently in the process of finding exercises that work for me.
