Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

See orthopedist: If possible, try to see an orthopedic surgeon( or rheumatologist) for evaluation/ x-rays . Physical therapy can be helpful for arthritic joints in conjunction w/ nsaids and other treatments... Maintaining motion and improving strength in arthritic joints is important.! best of luck!
