00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:07.960
After a joint injection, aftercare begins.
Can I go for a walk, work, or play sport?

2
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.340
And which symptoms should I
report? Follow the instructions

3
00:00:12.380 --> 00:00:18.340
for the product used and the personal
plan agreed with your healthcare team.

4
00:00:18.380 --> 00:00:23.120
Ask about the activities that
matter to you: short everyday trips,

5
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:29.360
longer walks, jogging, tennis, or
standing for long periods at work.

6
00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:34.780
Ask what you should limit at first
and when you can start again.

7
00:00:34.820 --> 00:00:40.160
Advice for a different product does not
automatically apply to your treatment.

8
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.720
It helps to write down what you have agreed.

9
00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:48.280
Include movement and activity,
how to take your medicines,

10
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:54.820
and your next contact with the team. Do not
change prescribed medicines on your own.

11
00:00:54.860 --> 00:01:00.220
If an instruction is unclear,
ask the clinic that treated you.

12
00:01:00.260 --> 00:01:07.420
Temporary pain, redness, warmth or
swelling can occur after an injection.

13
00:01:07.460 --> 00:01:12.200
A fixed number of days alone cannot
tell you whether a reaction is within

14
00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:18.920
the expected range. Pay attention to symptoms
that get worse or to any new symptoms.

15
00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:22.480
Severe or clearly worsening pain, and a hot,

16
00:01:22.520 --> 00:01:28.560
swollen joint, need urgent medical
assessment. This is especially important if

17
00:01:28.600 --> 00:01:35.720
you also have a fever or feel very unwell.
But a fever does not have to be present.

18
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:41.120
Do not wait for your planned follow-up
appointment if you have these symptoms.

19
00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:47.120
Contact the clinic that treated
you. Outside opening hours, use

20
00:01:47.160 --> 00:01:52.040
your local urgent medical service for urgent
problems that are not life-threatening.

21
00:01:52.080 --> 00:01:56.480
For life-threatening symptoms,
such as severe difficulty

22
00:01:56.520 --> 00:02:02.840
breathing or loss of consciousness, call
your local emergency number immediately.

23
00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:08.500
Contact numbers vary by country.
Check the right numbers in advance.

24
00:02:08.540 --> 00:02:12.940
For your follow-up appointment,
note how your symptoms and everyday

25
00:02:12.980 --> 00:02:18.580
activities are changing. What feels
easier, and what is still difficult?

26
00:02:18.620 --> 00:02:25.460
Mention any new symptoms. You and your
doctor will review the effect together.

27
00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:30.020
A particular improvement by a
fixed date cannot be promised.

28
00:02:30.060 --> 00:02:34.520
Your aftercare plan should
answer three questions.

29
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:41.520
What can I do? What should I watch for? And
who can I contact if there is a problem?

30
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:45.020
Keep these instructions
with your treatment records.

31
00:02:45.060 --> 00:02:51.320
Crespine Gel. This information
does not replace medical advice.

32
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:56.140
Discuss your symptoms and
treatment options with your doctor.
