Extreme joint pain can make the most basic of everyday tasks – like walking, shopping, even sleeping – unbearable. Changing your diet, exercise, and medications can be a good way to relieve your pain, but if this doesn’t work, it may be time to consider replacement surgery. 

If you’re experiencing joint pain, make an appointment with your primary care provider or orthopedic surgeon. Here you will discuss personal health history, lifestyle, and daily activities. After a physical exam and X-Rays of the joint(s) causing you pain, your provider will work with you to develop a treatment plan. This could include non-invasive methods, or a complete joint replacement.
