Occasional aches after exercise are common and usually ease with rest. But some joint pain is your body asking for a closer look.
Signs you should see an orthopaedic specialist
- Pain lasting more than two weeks despite rest.
- Swelling, redness or warmth around the joint.
- Stiffness that makes daily tasks like climbing stairs difficult.
- A joint that locks, clicks painfully or gives way.
- Pain after a fall or injury.
Early diagnosis means more treatment options — from physiotherapy and medication to minimally invasive procedures — and a better chance of staying active.
