"A cane, crutch or walker can take a load off painful hips and knees," says the Post. These assistive devices aid in mobility, daily living activities, and self-care by transmitting body weight and providing support. Prior to buying, be sure to test a particular mechanical aid to see how comfortable it is to use.
Despite these recommendations, there are certain situations, however, in which surgery is necessary. Usually, surgery is reserved for cases where there is unacceptable joint deformity or residual pain after several months of conservative treatment. To know if your joint pain requires surgery, have it evaluated by expert Denver orthopedic surgeons like the ones at Colorado Orthopedic Consultants.
