Your knee has been feeling funny for several days, but you’re not sure if you need to make an appointment with your doctor. Here are some telltale signs that it’s time to see a medical professional.
Whether it’s knee pain, a strange finger cramp or a swollen elbow, joint pain can range from mildly uncomfortable to completely debilitating. But it’s difficult to know when you should make an appointment with your doctor.
As a rule of thumb, you should see your doctor immediately, if your joint pain was caused by an injury. Other reasons to see your doctor include:
- You’re in a large amount of pain.
- You can’t move the joint.
- It hurts to put weight on the joint.
- The joint suddenly swells.
- The joint is deformed.
