When to seek medical advice
By Mayo Clinic staffIf you have persistent pain or soreness in your knee, elbow or another joint, see your doctor. Other signs and symptoms that should prompt a call or visit to your doctor include joint swelling or an inability to fully extend an extremity.
If you know that you've recently suffered a joint injury — or feel a worsening of pain during physical activity — this could be a further indication of possible osteochondritis dissecans. Seek medical attention.
