The following pain conditions should not be ignored and merit a visit to your doctor:
• Sharp pain that prevents you from moving a body part, decreases your range of motion, or prevents you from moving altogether
• Pain in an area that was previously injured or where surgery was performed
• Pain associated with deformity or massive swelling
• No pain relief after several days of rest, ice or over the counter anti-inflammatory medication
• Constant pain or pain that is worsening in severity
• Pain coupled with pressure and bruising
• Pain that is so intense it causes nausea and/or vomiting
• Pain associated with fevers and chills
A general rule of thumb to keep in mind: when in doubt, seek treatment from a medical professional.
