FAQs: Joint Pain Evaluation and Treatment
When should I worry about joint pain?
It’s crucial to see your doctor promptly if joint pain occurs suddenly after an injury, causes joint swelling, makes normal activities difficult, disrupts sleep, or lasts over two weeks. Catching joint issues early maximizes treatment options and improves prognosis.
What helps painful joints?
The treatment depends on the cause, but common remedies include ice/heat therapy, over-the-counter NSAIDs, support braces, physical therapy, platelet-rich plasma injections, and in advanced cases, surgery for conditions like arthritis.
What age do joints start hurting?
Joint pain becomes more common over 50 but can happen at any age after injuries or from conditions like arthritis. If painful joints interfere with function before 50, see your doctor to determine if medication, therapy or lifestyle changes may help.
What is the number one cause of joint pain?
Osteoarthritis is the leading cause, resulting from cartilage breakdown over time. Injuries, excess weight, overuse, autoimmune disorders, and natural aging also contribute to joint discomfort. Our diagnostics pinpoint factors causing YOUR pain.
