Getting prompt medical treatment for injuries
Joint injuries are common, and easily ignored, when they are not severely and suddenly disabling. A strained knee, a jammed finger, a twisted back all can seem like part of life. But if the pain is severe and persists, it is important to see a physician. There may be more serious damage to the bones or soft tissue of the joint, and the doctor can immobilize the joint to prevent further damage as well as recommend therapy to speed the healing process. Quick attention to the problem may prevent future development of OA.
