Extremity Pain

Causes of Extremity Pain

Extremity pain can stem from various causes, ranging from injuries and overuse to medical conditions affecting the muscles, joints, nerves, or blood vessels. Common causes of extremity pain include:

• Musculoskeletal Injuries: Such as sprains, strains, fractures, or tendonitis.
• Arthritis: Inflammation of the joints, which can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
• Peripheral Neuropathy: Nerve damage causing pain, tingling, or numbness in the extremities.
• Vascular Disorders: Conditions affecting blood flow to the limbs, such as peripheral artery disease.

Evaluation and Diagnosis

When you visit PrimeCare Urgent Care for extremity pain, our healthcare providers will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. This may involve reviewing your medical history, performing a physical examination, and possibly ordering diagnostic tests such as X-rays or ultrasound to assess the affected area.

Treatment Options

Treatment for extremity pain depends on the specific cause and severity of the condition. Our goal is to alleviate pain, promote healing, and restore function. Treatment options may include:

• Pain Management: Through medications, physical therapy, or therapeutic modalities such as heat or cold therapy.
• Immobilization or Support: Such as splints, braces, or crutches to protect and support injured limbs.
• Injection Therapy: Targeted injections of medications to reduce inflammation or alleviate pain.
• Referral to Specialists: If further evaluation or specialized care is needed.

When to Seek Medical Attention

While some cases of extremity pain may improve with self-care measures, it’s important to seek medical attention if you experience severe pain, swelling, inability to bear weight, or if pain persists despite home treatments.
