🦴 Hip osteoarthritis can do more than cause pain — it can change the way you move through everyday life.

As cartilage in the hip wears down, simple activities like walking 🚶, standing, bending, or getting in and out of a car can become more difficult. Early evaluation and treatment can help manage symptoms, reduce pain, and keep you moving. 💪

If hip pain is starting to limit your daily life, now is the time to get it checked. Schedule an appointment with an orthopaedic specialist today at OrthoBethesda.

👍Pain at the base of your thumb?
Trouble opening jars, turning keys, or pinching? Pain at the base of the thumb is often related to CMC (thumb) arthritis - arthritis at the base joint of your thumb the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint, where your thumb meets your wrist.

Why it happens
That joint is a “workhorse” that lets you pinch, grip, twist, and open jars. Over time (or after injury), the smooth cartilage can wear down, and the joint becomes inflamed and painful.

Common symptoms
✅Pain or aching at the base of the thumb (near the wrist)
✅Worse with pinching/gripping (keys, jars, texting, scissors)
✅Weak grip or trouble opening containers
✅Swelling or tenderness at the base of the thumb
✅Grinding/clicking (“creaking”) sensation
✅A bump or change in thumb shape over time

The good news is many people improve with targeted strengthening, simple activity changes, and supportive bracing. If severe or persistent, surgical procedures can be very effective

If thumb pain is stealing your grip, our expert hand specialists can get you back to better at OrthoBethesda.

Signs of Rotator Cuff Tear
A rotator cuff tear happens when one of the shoulder tendons is damaged—often causing pain, weakness, and trouble using your arm the way you normally do.

Common symptoms include:
✅ Pain reaching overhead or lifting, getting dressed, putting things on a shelf
✅ Night pain especially when lying on that shoulder
✅ Weakness lifting the arm or rotating it (feels heavy or unreliable)
✅ Pain with reaching behind your back
✅ Sometimes: clicking or a “catching” feeling

Shoulder pain can be stubborn. The right solutions from non-invasive activity modifications, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy to injection options, may be recommended

If symptoms are significant/persistent or not improving surgical repair may be recommended, especially for active patients or larger tears

Fortunately, many shoulder injuries improve with the right plan—and the first step is knowing what you’re dealing with so you can get Back to Better. 💙

🦶 Rolled your ankle?
Ankle sprains are common — but the right early steps matter.

In the first 24–72 hours:
✅ Rest and elevate
✅ Gentle motion as tolerated
✅ Avoid aggressively “testing it” (that can delay healing)

When to get checked:
If you can’t bear weight, swelling is severe, bruising spreads quickly, or pain isn’t improving, it’s time to be evaluated to rule out a fracture or a more significant ligament injury.

How OrthoBethesda can help:
At your visit, our team can assess stability, check for fracture risk, and get you a clear plan — which may include imaging if needed, bracing, guided rehab/physical therapy, and a safe return-to-activity timeline so you don’t re-injure it.

⚡️ Is it Sciatica or back pain?
Here’s the quick difference - It may be SCIATICA (nerve irritation) if you have:

✅ Pain that travels from the low back into the buttock, thigh, or below the knee
✅ Tingling, numbness, or burning down the leg
✅ Pain that follows a line/path (not just one sore spot)
✅ Worse with coughing/sneezing or sitting for long periods

It may be MUSCLE/JOINT/BACK pain if:
✅ Pain stays mostly in the low back (sometimes in the buttock, but not far down the leg)
✅ Feels tight/sore and improves with changing positions or gentle movement
✅ No numbness/tingling/weakness

The good news is most cases improve with the right treatment plan — the key is figuring out what’s driving your symptoms so you’re not guessing. That’s how OrthoBethesda gets you Back to Better.

“I have a partial rotator cuff tear… does golfing make it worse?” ⛳️

Dr. Craig A. Miller: “No. Life deteriorates your rotator cuff. Time deteriorates your rotator cuff.”

Translation: golfing isn’t automatically “doing damage.” If you feel good swinging, get out there and play.

If pain is increasing, your swing is changing, or you’re losing strength—get it checked at OrthoBethesda today.

🦶 Heel pain in the morning?
That sharp “first-step” pain that eases as you move is a classic sign of plantar fasciitis—irritation of the tissue along the bottom of your foot.

Quick wins to try this week:
✅ Calf stretching (2–3x/day)
✅ Supportive shoes (yes, even at home—skip bare feet)
✅ Ease up on high-impact for 1–2 weeks (swap in biking/swimming if you can)
✅ Roll your foot on a frozen water bottle or ball for 1–2 minutes

If it’s lingering, don’t “push through.” Our foot & ankle specialists can help you pinpoint the cause and get you back to comfortable movement.

🎾Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): What it is & what helps
Tennis elbow isn’t just for tennis. It’s irritation of the tendons on the outside of your elbow from repetitive gripping and lifting. Over time, the tendon gets overloaded and becomes painful. 🦾

Common symptoms
✅ Pain/tenderness on the outer elbow
✅ Pain lifting a mug, shaking hands, turning a doorknob, or carrying bags
✅ Weak grip or pain with typing/mouse use
✅ Worse with repetitive lifting or wrist extension (palm down)

What Can Help:
✅ Reduce the aggravating activity temporarily (don’t “push through”)
✅ Use a counterforce strap or wrist brace can take stress off the tendon
✅ Strengthening exercises (often eccentric wrist/forearm work) rebuild tendon tolerance
✅ Gradually return to lifting/sports with smarter technique

Before you do anything, you should consult with a shoulder specialist to confirm diagnosis and create a treatment plan for recovery. 💙
