Has pain in your joints forced you to stop doing things you love? Does discomfort in your hips or knees limit your mobility? If so, you can do something about it. More than 40 million Americans suffer from sore joints, with arthritis the most common culprit. What most people don't realize is that this condition is treatable. The pain can often be reduced or eliminated allowing you to return to the activities you enjoy.
You don't have to live with arthritis pain
Arthritis is the leading cause of sore joints and the condition can deteriorate if unchecked. It's extremely important to treat arthritis pain as soon as possible. Early detection and treatment can help prevent painful and costly long-term complications. Signs to look for:
- Joint pain and stiffness
- Joint swelling and tenderness
- Joints that have lost normal shape and motion
- Joints that may be warm to the touch
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, you can take initial steps to alleviate the discomfort. Doctors recommend the following:
- Exercise
- Lose weight
- Use over-the-counter and prescription medicines
- Rest
- Apply hot and cold treatments
- Take supplements
- Use canes and walkers
The Total Joint Center at Thomasville Medical Center offers information on pain medication, recommended exercises and specialized diets. The Center also provides comprehensive treatment for chronic pain in the hips, knees and other joints.
If the pain won't go away
Sometimes diet changes, exercise programs and other efforts aren't enough to reduce or eliminate joint pain. Extra measures are needed. The Total Joint Center team can help find a solution that's right for you. Our specialists will meet with you to discuss symptoms, diagnose your condition and outline additional treatment options.
Advanced treatment options
Joint pain may persist despite all steps to treat it. That's when arthroscopic or total joint replacement might be needed. If pain continues for an extended period of time, you will want to meet with a Total Joint Center physician who will conduct additional interviews with you and perform a detailed physical exam. Once the examination is complete and the results are diagnosed, you and your physician will decide if surgery is the best route to take.
