Symptoms & Signs of Degenerative Joint Disease
Diagnosis for osteoarthritis requires an examination from a specialized provider, along with tests such as X-rays or ultrasounds.
Therefore, during your initial appointment, we will often ask questions such as:
- Does your pain currently limit you or your activities?
- Has your pain progressed or worsened recently?
- Have you noticed any change in your symptoms that has made it more challenging to function?
- What are your lifestyle goals?
- How has pain affected those goals?
From there, we can decide whether more conservative osteoarthritis treatments will suffice or whether you would find the most benefit with surgery.
