What to Do If You Have Arthritis Symptoms Such as Pain, Stiffness, or Swelling In Or Around One or More of Your Joints?

December 30, 2019 by OrthoNOW Leave a Comment

Diagnosing Arthritis

If you have arthritis symptoms such as pain, stiffness, or swelling in or around one or more of your joints, visit your nearest OrthoNOW Center for a $99 evaluation. Clinician will usually diagnose pain by using the patient’s medical history, physical examination and X-rays. It is possible to have more than one form of arthritis at the same time. There are many forms of arthritis and diagnosing the specific type you have can help your doctor determine the best treatment. The earlier you understand your arthritis, the earlier you can start managing your disease, reducing pain, and making healthy lifestyle changes.

Making an arthritis diagnosis

The signs and symptoms that lead people to the exam room are typically joint pain, swelling or stiffness. Sometimes unexplained fatigue and a lingering sense of illness are problems, too. There are ways in which health care providers, on their own or as part of a team, evaluate joint problems and diagnose or eliminate arthritis.

  1. Medical & Family History
  2. Physical Exam
  3. Imaging Tests
  4. Medical & Family History

Even if the specific diagnosis isn’t clear, but signs point to an inflammatory type of arthritis, doctors may go ahead and start treatment to bring down high levels of inflammation.
