Signs You Need an Orthopedist
It can be difficult figuring out where pain is coming from and what type
of medical specialist is best suited to address your needs. In most cases,
your primary care physician should be your first call for medical issues.
Primary physicians will refer their patients to specialists when they
need more advanced care. However, physicians do not always recommend specialists
as quickly as people need them. If you experience any of the following
signs of an orthopedic condition, mention the possibility to your physician
or seek out an orthopedist on your own.
An orthopedist can help you if you experience:
- Chronic back pain
- Chronic joint pains
- Your range of motion is limited
- You have difficulty standing or walking due to pain
- You injured a joint (like a sprained ankle) and the swelling has not gone
down after 2 days
- Tasks such as walking upstairs or opening jars cause pain and discomfort
