When pain unbearable: When the pain interferes with your daily routine (social, work, home, sleep), and simple measures (exercise, physical therapy, medication) are not giving enough relief. If that is your situation, discuss the problem with your primary doctor.

Your Choice: Pain is personal. Those who can live with their pain never seek out professional help. If you get to the point where you cannot manage it on your own and with otc medications then a consultation may be a good idea.
