Your life is meant for more than enduring joint pain.

Unfortunately, it’s quite common to find patients who feel their quality of life has been affected, yet they still hesitate to reach out to an expert. Are you, or is someone close to you, one of those people?

That’s why we created a list of 10 signs that it’s time to see an orthopedic specialist – for you.

After speaking with a panel of top orthopedic surgeons at Catholic Health, we realized there’s a variety of symptoms that go beyond general aches and pains.

An interested reader may be:

• Suffering from arthritis
• Had a previous joint injury or operation
• Limiting activities because of joint pain
• Spending time with someone who could be a candidate

Do one or more of these signs resonate with you?
