When should you seek an evaluation?

You should see a doctor for an injury when you:

  • Have severe pain and cannot put any weight on the injured area.
  • Have an area over or around the damaged joint that is very tender upon touch.
  • Find that the injured area is altered in its shape or size as compared to the opposite side
  • Can’t move the injured joint.
  • See that the injured area looks crooked or has lumps and bumps, other than swelling.
  • Can’t walk without feeling significant pain.
  • Try to use the joint and it buckles or gives way.
  • Have numbness in any part of the injured area.
  • See redness or red streaks spreading out from the injury.
  • Have pain, swelling, or redness over the injured area.
  • Are in doubt about the seriousness of the damage or how to care for it.

If you are injured during a sporting event, seek the advice of your team physician.

“It was a nasty injury. I went into surgery quickly after that and am recovering quite well now. I do heavy weight lifting, a lot of plyo, and a lot of jumping rope.
