What symptoms might patients notice?
Orthopaedic symptoms may include pain, stiffness, swelling, reduced mobility, instability, numbness, weakness or loss of confidence with activity.
Why might this happen?
Symptoms may come from joints, tendons, muscles, nerves, previous injuries, arthritis, sports overload or referred pain. The right route depends on assessment rather than self-diagnosis.
When should you seek assessment?
- Symptoms are persistent, worsening or affecting sleep, walking, work or sport
- You are unsure whether scans, injections, physiotherapy or surgery are needed
- You have previous advice or imaging and want a second opinion
What might a consultation involve?
- Discussion of symptoms, medical history, goals and previous treatment
- Examination where appropriate and review of imaging or reports if available
- Discussion of non-surgical options, injections, surgery or onward referral where suitable
