Dr. Anmol Hublikar is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon in Hubballi with specialised fellowship training in advanced trauma, robotic and conventional joint replacement, and arthroscopy. His practice includes knee and hip problems, fractures, arthritis, sports injuries and spine-related conditions.
Here are seven practical tips for protecting your knees and joints.
1. Do Not Ignore Persistent Knee Pain
Occasional discomfort after unusual activity may settle, but persistent pain, stiffness, swelling or difficulty walking should be evaluated.
Knee arthritis commonly causes progressive pain, stiffness and swelling, and symptoms may gradually interfere with normal movement.
2. Keep Moving With the Right Exercise
Complete inactivity is not always the answer for arthritis.
Low-impact activities such as walking as tolerated, cycling or swimming, together with appropriate strengthening exercises, can help maintain joint mobility and improve function. Exercise programmes should be adapted to your condition and fitness level.
3. Maintain a Healthy Body Weight
Excess weight places additional stress on weight-bearing joints such as the knees.
For people who are overweight and have knee osteoarthritis, weight reduction can decrease joint stress and may improve pain and function.
4. Avoid Long-Term Self-Medication for Knee Pain
Repeatedly taking painkillers without identifying the cause of knee pain may delay appropriate evaluation.
Anti-inflammatory medicines can help some patients, but they may also have important side effects and may not be suitable for people with certain heart, kidney or other medical conditions. Discuss prolonged medication use with your doctor.
5. Take Sports Injuries Seriously
Seek prompt orthopedic assessment after an injury if you experience:
- A popping sensation followed by the knee giving way
- Severe pain
- Significant swelling
- Difficulty moving the knee
- Limping or inability to bear weight
These can occur with ligament, meniscus, fracture or other significant knee injuries.
6. Rehabilitation Is an Important Part of Recovery
Treatment does not end when pain improves or surgery is completed.
Physiotherapy and strengthening exercises can help restore movement, muscle strength and function following many orthopedic injuries and procedures.
Dr. Anmol's training includes arthroscopy of the knee, shoulder and hip as well as management of sports injuries and trauma.
7. Know When Knee Replacement May Be Considered
Not every patient with knee arthritis needs surgery.
Joint replacement may be considered when there is severe pain or stiffness affecting daily activities, persistent pain even at rest, chronic swelling, deformity, or inadequate relief despite appropriate nonsurgical treatment.
Dr. Anmol has fellowship training in both robotic and conventional knee and hip joint replacement surgery.

Do not let persistent knee pain, swelling or reduced mobility become part of everyday life. Early orthopedic assessment can help identify whether the problem needs exercise, physiotherapy, medication, arthroscopy or joint-replacement evaluation.
