How do I know if I need to have my joint replaced?
According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, you should consult a doctor about joint replacement surgery.
After looking at the joint, the doctor may recommend exercise, walking aids such as braces or canes, physical therapy, or medicines and vitamin supplements. Joint replacement is often the answer for constant pain and mobility issues – for example, if you have trouble with things such as walking, climbing stairs and taking a bath.
