Medical disclaimer

รู้เรื่องกระดูกและข้อ (Easyortho, rueortho.vercel.app) exists to give the general public plain-language information about common bone, joint and muscle problems.

Nothing on this site is medical advice

• Everything here is general information. It is not a diagnosis, a consultation or a treatment plan for any individual, and it cannot replace being examined by and talking to a doctor.
• Reading or using this site does not create a doctor–patient relationship between you and the author.
• The same symptom can have many causes. A correct diagnosis needs a history, a physical examination and, sometimes, tests — carried out by a doctor who has actually seen you.
• Where medicines, exercises, procedures or operations are mentioned, this is general description only. It is not a recommendation to start or stop any treatment without speaking to the doctor looking after you.

Emergencies

Go to an emergency department immediately — and call 1669 (Thailand) if you are too unwell to get there yourself — if you have: a serious injury, a limb that looks deformed or cannot bear weight, sudden numbness or weakness, a joint that is swollen, red and hot together with a fever, pain you cannot control, or loss of bladder or bowel control.

Accuracy and currency

• Every article names its author, its reviewer and the date it was last reviewed. The author makes every effort to ensure the content reflects accepted medical knowledge as of that date.
• Medical knowledge changes. Some information may be out of date or incomplete, and may differ from the practice of the hospital or clinic treating you.
• Links to other websites are provided for reference only. The author does not control and does not endorse their content.

Limitation of liability

The author and the operators of this site accept no liability for any loss or harm, direct or indirect, arising from use of the information here or from a decision not to seek medical care. You use this information at your own risk.

Independence

This site has no sponsors and no advertising, and receives no payment from any pharmaceutical, device or healthcare company. Nothing here is intended to advertise, or to encourage you to attend, any particular hospital or clinic.
