Frequently Asked Questions on Orthopaedic Treatment

If you experience any of the following conditions, it is a good idea to seek the services of a Singapore orthopaedic doctor:

  • If you feel it is difficult to carry on with your usual daily activities such as getting out of bed, climbing stairs, pushing the trolley in a supermarket, carrying grocery bags, doing laundry, etc.
  • If you experience pain that has not resolved for the past several weeks. Some pain is expected in case of an acute injury, but if the pain becomes chronic and persists after 6-8 weeks, you need to see an orthopaedic doctor.
  • If you feel stiffness in your joints and your range of motion is restricted. These symptoms can point towards a degenerative condition or arthritis, which needs to be treated by a specialist doctor.
  • If you experience joint pains that seem to worsen even at rest, it can point towards severe degenerative conditions and needs to be checked by an orthopaedist.
  • If you feel unstable while walking, standing, sitting down, and standing from a sitting position, there might be some problem with your joints that needs to be examined by a specialist.
  • If you feel inflammation, redness, or warmth in a particular area of your body, it can indicate an infection. If any of these symptoms are accompanied by fever, do not waste time and get yourself checked by an orthopaedic specialist.
  • If you have sustained a soft tissue injury that does not involve any bones and joints, and the pain and inflammation do not seem to subside after two days of doing home remedies and applying the RICE protocol, it is an indication that it could be something serious.
  • If you experience any pain in the bones, joints, or soft tissues of the musculoskeletal system that keeps you awake at night, it means you need to get it checked.
