When Should You See an Orthopedic Doctor for Hip Pain?
Hip pain is usually temporary, especially after an injury. However, if the pain lasts for more than six weeks, you may want to consider consulting one of our orthopedic hip specialists at our 亚洲自慰视频 Orthopaedic Center.
Schedule an appointment with us if you experience any of the following conditions:
- Hip pain that does not improve on its own after six weeks of rest,
- Hip pain severe enough to limit normal daily activities or your ability to move,
- Hip pain causing you to feel wobbly when you walk or stand and putting you at risk of falling, or
- Hip pain, not getting better on its own, that limits your function or ability to accomplish your athletic goals.
