Treatment options
Self-care, physiotherapy, medicines, injections and surgery — what each one aims to do, and its trade-offs.
Choosing a treatment with your doctor
More than one reasonable answer, and your life is part of the choice.
Injections into and around a joint
They help in some conditions at some moments, not permanently.
Looking after it yourself
What you do while waiting matters more than most people expect.
Pain medicines — the classes and what to know
Several classes, working differently and carrying different cautions.
Surgery — when, and how to prepare
One option, not the destination everyone reaches.
