Orthopedic Pro Tip: When to Seek Help for Joint Pain
As we age, pain in our joints is common. If the pain gets better after rest, anti-inflammatories, or ice, there may not be a need to seek medical care. But if it's life-altering pain, you can't stand or walk, or you have instability, it's probably time to see an orthopedic surgeon to explore the option of joint replacement.
Dr. Brian McDermott is an orthopedic surgeon with Mary Washington Orthopedics in affiliation with FOA, specializing in joint replacement surgery. To make an appointment with Dr. McDermott, call 540.372.4221 or visit https://www.marywashingtonhealthcare.... for more information.
