The joint replacement doctors at Carolina Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Center say if you’re experiencing the following symptoms, you may be ready for a joint replacement procedure.

• You’re experiencing joint pain that keeps you awake, or awakens you, at night.


• You have joint pain that limits you from participating in activities you enjoy, such as exercising, traveling, walking, or shopping.


• You have tried conservative treatment methods for a reasonable amount of time, and you are still experiencing persistent joint pain.

You and your doctor may consider several other factors when determining whether a joint replacement procedure is the right choice for you.

“Your age, overall health, and bone density all contribute to your decision to undergo a joint replacement procedure,” explains Dr. H. Clayton Thomason, III, joint replacement surgeon at Carolina Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Center.
