Dr. Mullen explains what occurs when a woman presents with joint pain and discusses medications used to treat arthritis. Dr. Mullen is an orthopedic surgeon at Baywood Medical Center in Mesa, Arizona.
Dr. Mullen:
A lot of the women that come into my office with knee pain or hip pain aren’t necessarily sure that it is because that they have arthritis or even if they had any arthritis at all.
When I see them I take a history. I examine them. I take X-rays often, and if they do have arthritis, luckily there’s a number of different things that we can do to help get them better, minimize their pain and get them back to the life that they want to lead.
A lot of women have questions regarding the medications available to treat arthritis. There’s Tylenol, there’s anti-inflammatory agents. Many of them are non-prescription. Many of them require prescription.
Exactly which medicines would be best for each particular woman is going to be dependent upon many factors and what’s good for one isn’t necessarily the right thing for the other.
