If you’re experiencing pain that starts to interfere with your activities of daily life, it could be time to consider what surgical methods are available. Although, this depends heavily on the location of your osteoarthritic pain, and the joints affected. The possibility of undergoing a full knee or hip replacement definitely comes with unique risks, so be sure to consult your doctor on whether these options could work for you. In the mean while, try things like activity modification, physical therapy, and drug therapy before considering a surgical option.
