See below: Relax. Take a deep breath. Orthopedic surgeons do not only do operations but they also recommend conservative treatment for a lot of conditions. Education and counseling anti-inflammatory medication with food , muscle relaxants , pain medications injection therapy , occupational and physical therapy are just a few few of the treatment regimens. Good luck thank you.
