Knee Pain: When Should You Be Concerned?
Knee pain is a common issue that can appear suddenly or develop over time. It may be caused by an injury or medical conditions like arthritis—and it tends to become more frequent as we age.

See your doctor if:
• You can’t move your knee
• You’re unable to put weight on it
• Your knee locks or gives way
• The pain is severe
Seek urgent care immediately if:
• Your knee is badly swollen or has changed shape
• You have a fever with a red, hot knee
• The pain follows a major injury
Don’t ignore persistent knee pain—early care can prevent long-term damage and help you stay active.
📞 Book a consultation with Dr. Johan today and take the first step toward pain-free movement.

A bone fracture is a crack or break in a bone. A broken bone can happen suddenly and requires proper care to heal correctly.

Fractures are especially common in children due to their active lifestyles and developing bones.
Watch for signs like:
• Pain and tenderness
• Swelling or bruising
• Limited or no movement in the affected limb
• A visible change in shape

See a doctor if:
• You think you may have a broken bone or dislocation
(Do NOT try to straighten or move a bone that looks out of place)
• Your injury isn’t improving or is getting worse
• You notice signs of infection such as increased pain, swelling, or redness
Early treatment can make all the difference in recovery—don’t delay getting the care you need.

Fainting: Don’t Ignore the Warning Signs
Fainting is a sudden, brief loss of consciousness where you become unresponsive for a few seconds.
Common warning signs before fainting:
• Weakness
• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Vision changes
• Anxiety
Possible causes include:
Tiredness, dehydration, severe pain, anxiety, low blood pressure, low blood sugar—or more serious conditions like heart or brain disorders.
When should you see a doctor?
• If you’ve fainted and don’t know the cause
• If you’ve fainted more than once recently
Even if you recover quickly, it’s important to get checked. Fainting can be harmless—but it can also signal something more serious.
📞 Book a consultation with Dr. Johan to ensure your health and peace of mind.

Important: Do not squeeze an abscess, as this can cause the infection to spread.

Early treatment can prevent complications and promote faster healing.

Watch for symptoms such as:
• Stomach pain

• Diarrhoea
If you suspect you’ve accidentally eaten unsafe food, don’t ignore the signs.

Falls in Older Adults: Why They Should Never Be Ignored.

Anyone can have a fall, but falls are a major health concern for people aged 65 years and older. Even when a fall does not result in an injury, it can lead to a loss of confidence and an ongoing fear of falling, which may impact independence and quality of life.

Speak to your doctor if you’ve had a fall — even if you feel fine. Falls can be a sign of underlying health issues, including:
• A new medical condition
• Side effects of medication
• Balance problems
• Muscle weakness
Regular check-ups are important and can help identify and address concerns early, reducing the risk of more serious falls in the future.
You can contact Dr. Johan Haarhoff’s office at 016 422 1071 or email bookings@drjohanhaarhoff.co.za for an appointment.
