How Do You Know When to See a Doctor?
Many people don't know when it's best to see a sports doctor about an injury. You may feel some obvious soreness and fatigue in your muscles after physical activity. You may also feel aches and pains due to straining your body in certain ways. In most cases, these issues are just a normal part of exercise, and will not require a visit to the doctor.
You may need to see a specialist when
- You can not tolerate weight on an area
- An injury causes severe swelling, pain or sensitivity
- An old injury becomes inflamed, swollen or painful
- A bone is broken
- You sustain a high-grade sprain or strain
- You have a limited range of motion in a joint
If you are not sure whether or not your symptoms are normal, please call Physicians Regional Healthcare System to schedule an appointment with a sports medicine specialist.
