When Should You Seen An Orthopedic Surgeon

You don’t have to live with pain. In fact, there’s a good chance your symptoms could improve with treatment that may not even require surgery.

You should be evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon if you’re experiencing any of the following:

• Pain, stiffness, or discomfort that makes daily activities difficult
• Chronic pain (pain that has lasted longer than 12 weeks)
• Decreased range of motion
• Instability while walking or standing or trouble falling
