What can you expect from your first visit with an Orthopedic Specialist?

An orthopedic specialist will ask you about your general health, previous health conditions, complete family medical history, and other current conditions that you may be suffering from. They will especially want to know about conditions such as anemia, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, obesity, and hypertension, because these conditions may affect the treatment options that the surgeon provides.

You need to discuss all pain that you are currently experiencing with your orthopedic doctor. You will also likely discuss it in detail with your doctor.

Also, make sure you discuss any past injuries or existing conditions that could be having a negative effect on the existing orthopedic condition. Before your consultation with the doctor, it might be helpful to maintain a pain journal where you could record activities and positions that are causing pain anywhere in the body. Don’t forget to bring the journal along with you for your consultation and share it with the doctor.
