😡 Nothing humbles a person faster than when your "good leg" decides it wants equal attention. 🩼🦿

💥 REMEMBER💥 Your legs are a duo, not solo acts. Your good leg has decided it’s had enough of the "leadership role" and wants it's turn in the spotlight, aka. X-ray.

Feeling more than just "good" soreness today?

🍂There is nothing like the satisfaction of a clean yard, but as the seasons shift, that hard work can take a hidden toll.

❄️🧤When the mornings are cooler, our bodies react. Lower temperatures can cause muscles to tighten and joint fluid to thicken, making your knees and hips feel like they’re moving through molasses.

🔬Why the Transition is Tough on Joints:

🦿Morning Stiffness: Cooler air makes tendons and ligaments less elastic, increasing the risk of micro-tears during physical labor.

🧎🏼‍♀️‍➡️Repetitive Motion: Constant bending and pivoting are high-impact moves for your hip sockets and knee caps.

🩼The "Nagging" Factor: What starts as a dull ache from a busy weekend can quickly turn into a chronic inflammatory issue if left unaddressed.

✨ Listen to Your Body ✨
If that "old issue" you’ve been managing has graduated from an occasional annoyance to a constant, nagging pain, it’s your body’s way of asking for help. Ignoring joint pain often leads to compensatory injuries, where you hurt your "good" side because you're overworking it to protect the painful one.

❌ Don't wait for the pain to sideline you for the rest of the season. ❌

We have openings as soon as this week to evaluate knee and hip concerns and get you on a path to recovery. Schedule online 24/7/365 📆 OrthoEdge.com

✨ We Are Hip Pain Experts ✨

Whether your hip pain is chronic or acute, the first step in relieving your symptoms is to schedule an exam. Your physician will ask you to describe your symptoms in as much detail as possible.

🤔 When describing your hip pain, think about:

📝 Other symptoms you’re having, like stiffness or clicking sensations
📝 If you have hip pain when walking, when placing weight on your leg, or when you’re lying or sitting still
📝 The location of your pain (specifically, whether you have inner or outer hip pain, pain near your groin, or pain in your buttocks)
📝 If your pain is sharp or “shooting,” or if it’s a more persistent ache
📝 If you have severe hip pain or if your pain is more mild

What you think is hip pain may actually be sciatica, a herniated disc, or even back pain. Your physician can help you determine which problem is causing the most discomfort and the best treatment options.
