Here are 4 signs your hip or knee pain has gone beyond 'normal aging' and deserves a specialist's opinion.

"I'm Doctor Cynthia Kahlenberg, an orthopedic surgeon in Stamford, Connecticut focused on hip and knee replacement for active adults. Here are the four signs.

Number one: pain most days of the week for more than three months.

Number two: pain that wakes you up at night or prevents you from falling asleep.

Number three: difficulty with everyday tasks—getting in and out of a car, going up or down stairs, putting on socks or shoes.

Number four: you've already tried basic measures like rest, over‐the‐counter medications, or some physical therapy, and you're still limited. 

If you recognize yourself in these signs and you're sick of dealing with the pain, schedule an evaluation with me so we can figure out exactly what's going on and what to do about it.
