Long-Term Knee Pain: Is It Time to Rethink Your Treatment Plan?
If you’re experiencing long-term knee pain that doesn’t seem to improve with rest, medication, or physical therapy, you’re not alone—and you’re not out of options. Many people go years living with chronic discomfort, assuming it’s just part of aging. But it doesn’t have to be.
Why Is My Knee Still Hurting?
Knee pain that persists for more than a few weeks can be caused by several underlying issues. The most common include:
- Osteoarthritis
- Previous injury (like a torn meniscus)
- Poor circulation or vascular issues
- Tendonitis or bursitis
- Wear and tear from repetitive stress
At Prospero Vascular & Interventional, we often see patients whose pain is linked to both orthopedic and vascular causes—especially in cases where conventional treatments have failed.

What If It’s a Vascular Problem?
It may surprise you, but long-term knee pain is sometimes linked to poor blood flow, especially in patients with PAD (Peripheral Artery Disease). Reduced circulation can inflame and irritate joint tissues, making recovery difficult. We specialize in addressing these hidden causes using minimally invasive, image-guided treatments that many orthopedic clinics simply don’t offer.

Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE): A Minimally Invasive Solution For Long-Term Knee Pain
One of the most effective procedures we offer is Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE). This technique targets abnormal blood vessels that contribute to knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. It reduces inflammation and pain—without surgery.
Benefits of GAE:
- No hospital stay
- Performed under local anesthesia
- Return to normal activity within days
- High success rates in pain reduction
