Q:

What are the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis?

A:

The symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis typically include swelling, pain and stiffness around the joints. Flu-like symptoms can also be present, like feeling very tired and achy. Shortness of breath can also develop, usually as the disease progresses. If you are having these symptoms, it is important to get checked by your physician since rheumatoid arthritis needs treatment and management as soon as possible.

Q:

What causes a labral tear in the hip?

A:

In most cases, a labral tear in the hip joint is caused by injury. Impact sports like hockey or football can provide a higher risk of this injury, and we see labral tears from bad falls and car accidents as well.

Q:

When should I have a hip replacement?

A:

If your doctor has told you that you are a candidate for hip replacement surgery, the timing of the operation will be a decision that you can make together. The general recommendation is to wait as long as possible, and to try other methods to control the pain with medications or walking aids to offload the affected hip. You can speak with your doctor about how necessary the hip replacement surgery is for you and what other options you might have in the meantime.
