Specializes in Urgent Care

RICE: Rest, no heavy lifting heavier than the Sunday paper, use NSAIDs if no contraindication, get a full exam. If you have degenerative joint disease it may be present in your spine and hip as well you need an exam to rule out fracture and nerve impingement/radiculopathy , rule out herniated disc and other problems. Good luck stay calm get exam by ortho/ pain mgmt.
