Your knee pain
The knee carries body weight and moves constantly, so cartilage, ligaments, tendons and the joint capsule take the load. The clinic looks at the damage, the cause of pain and how you walk before planning anything.
Conditions the clinic lists
- Degenerative arthritis
- Cartilage injury
- Ligament injury
- Meniscus problems
Own-cell options are one possibility after the examination. Research on injections is limited; see what the evidence says.
Before you travel
- Imaging reports (X-ray, MRI) and images if you have them
- Your medicines
- Treatments you have already tried
Questions
Should I send my MRI before travelling?
Yes, if you have one. Send the report or images with your question. We pass them to the clinic and ask how it would assess you.

Ask before you book
Send your question, your dates and any X-ray or MRI report you already have. COMEDI, the registered coordinator for international patients that runs this site, gets the clinic’s written answer and an itemised quote before you travel.
