🦶 Heel pain in the morning?
That sharp “first-step” pain that eases as you move is a classic sign of plantar fasciitis—irritation of the tissue along the bottom of your foot.

Quick wins to try this week:
✅ Calf stretching (2–3x/day)
✅ Supportive shoes (yes, even at home—skip bare feet)
✅ Ease up on high-impact for 1–2 weeks (swap in biking/swimming if you can)
✅ Roll your foot on a frozen water bottle or ball for 1–2 minutes

If it’s lingering, don’t “push through.” Our foot & ankle specialists can help you pinpoint the cause and get you back to comfortable movement.

🎾Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): What it is & what helps
Tennis elbow isn’t just for tennis. It’s irritation of the tendons on the outside of your elbow from repetitive gripping and lifting. Over time, the tendon gets overloaded and becomes painful. 🦾

Common symptoms
✅ Pain/tenderness on the outer elbow
✅ Pain lifting a mug, shaking hands, turning a doorknob, or carrying bags
✅ Weak grip or pain with typing/mouse use
✅ Worse with repetitive lifting or wrist extension (palm down)

What Can Help:
✅ Reduce the aggravating activity temporarily (don’t “push through”)
✅ Use a counterforce strap or wrist brace can take stress off the tendon
✅ Strengthening exercises (often eccentric wrist/forearm work) rebuild tendon tolerance
✅ Gradually return to lifting/sports with smarter technique

Before you do anything, you should consult with a shoulder specialist to confirm diagnosis and create a treatment plan for recovery. 💙

Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) - What to Know
Frozen shoulder is when the shoulder capsule becomes inflamed and stiff, causing pain + a gradual loss of motion—often making it hard to reach overhead or behind your back.

Common signs
✅ Increasing stiffness over time (not just soreness)
✅ Night pain, especially when sleeping on that side
✅ Trouble reaching up, across, or behind your back (bra strap/seatbelt)

👩 Does it affect women more than men?
Yes, frozen shoulder is more common in women, most often between ages 40–60. It’s also more common in people with diabetes or thyroid conditions.

How OrthoBethesda can help!
The right plan can shorten the shoulder pain struggle, often with targeted physical therapy, guided mobility work, and pain-relief options when appropriate. Call the shoulder experts today at OrthoBethesda.

Knee Arthritis – Signs It’s Time to Get Checked
If knee pain is changing how you walk, climb stairs, or get through your day, it’s worth getting checked—especially if you notice some of the following symptoms:

1️⃣ Pain with stairs or getting up from a chair
Knee arthritis often shows up as an achy pain with stairs (especially going down), squatting, or standing up after sitting.
2️⃣ Stiffness after sitting
That “rusty knee” feeling when you first stand—then it loosens after a few steps—can be a classic pattern.
3️⃣ Swelling that comes and goes
If your knee slightly swells after activity or feels tight/full, it can be a sign of joint irritation.

Luckily, you don’t have to “live with it.” Many people improve with activity modifications, targeted strengthening/physical therapy, anti-inflammatory options, and other non-surgical treatments.

If symptoms persist, we can also discuss advanced procedures and the best next step for your goals.

😴 Side-of-hip pain when you sleep?
Pain on the outside of the hip—especially when lying on that side— is often hip bursitis, which is irritation of the small fluid-filled cushion (“bursa”) near the hip joint and/or nearby glute tendon irritation.

✅ Quick tip: reduce the use of stairs/hills temporarily, add gentle hip strengthening, and address walking mechanics.

If it’s keeping you from sleep or activity, call OrthoBethesda’s hip specialists and they’ll get you Back to Better quick!

🖐️ Does your finger “snap” or get stuck?
That catching/locking sensation can be trigger finger, often caused by tendon irritation. Addressing it early can make a big difference.

👉 Quick tip: practice gentle range-of-motion exercises and take a break from repetitive gripping for a few days.

Still sticking or painful? Our hand & wrist specialists can help—options may include therapy, bracing, injections, and if needed, trigger finger release (non-surgical or surgical).

Let’s get you back to better with the hand experts at OrthoBethesda.

Stop making your shoulder do the job it wasn’t built for ✅

OrthoBethesda orthopedic surgeon Dr. Craig A. Miller calls it the Shoulder Safe Box - hands close, in front, controlled.

Far reaches + overhead storage = your shoulder paying the price.

Your shoulder is happiest in that comfortable zone in front of you—not repeatedly reaching high, far, or overhead. Small change. Big difference.
