Help My Hurt

Ortho week begins at Help My Hurt - Joints

by Marijke Durning, RN on April 27th, 2008

Joint pain and joint replacements are becoming much more common place as people stay active as they age. The problems that result in chronic pain can greatly affect how people live their lives physically, socially, and emotionally.

This week at Help My Hurt, I’ll be finding articles and informational pieces about our bones joints, fractures, what causes the aches and pains, and what’s involved in having hip and knee replacements. While we discuss living with pain here at Help My Hurt, we also try to avoid it!

To start, I have this article from WebMD: Hip and Knee Replacements on the Rise. The author discusses the role of obesity, arthritis and aging on the development of joint problems.
