Should I See an Orthopedic Sports Medicine Specialist?

Overuse Injuries Quiz

Orthopedic sports medicine providers help diagnose and treat injuries that affect how you move and stay active. Left untreated, these injuries can turn into bigger problems over time. If you’re dealing with shoulder, knee, or hip pain that won’t go away, take this quick quiz to see if it’s time to schedule a visit.

 

Do you have nagging pain that gets worse with repetitive activity (like running, throwing or lifting) but improves with rest?
Have you noticed swelling, tenderness, or stiffness in a joint or muscle that keeps returning?
Does pain show up during activity but fade when you stop – only to return the next time you move the same way?
Do you feel a gradual loss of strength, flexibility or endurance in an area you use often (such as your knee, shoulder or elbow)?
Have you started changing how you move or carry yourself to avoid pain or discomfort?
Do you experience numbness, tingling or weakness after repetitive motions?
Have over-the-counter remedies, stretching or rest stopped being enough to relieve the discomfort?
