Dr. David Crawford Reviews the My Mobility App

Post-joint replacement recovery can be just as painful as arthritis itself. Dr. David Crawford warns that until your joints fully heal, they’ll still be at risk, so you need to be extra careful with them.

Now, the problem is that most patients aren’t familiar with post-operation care. After all, it’s not something you can learn through experience. And the hardest part about it all is that your surgeon might not be always there to help.

For example, let’s say your knee starts aching in the middle of the night and you can’t reach your doctor, what do you do? Should you call for an ambulance? Can you suppress the pain with medicine? Should you just tough out the pain?

To prevent these kinds of dilemmas, Dr. David Crawford suggests downloading the My Mobility app. It’s a telehealth program made specifically for patients recovering from joint replacement surgery. Here are some of the reasons why patients love it:

First, it gives you a direct line to your orthopedic surgeon. Coordinate with your orthopedic surgeon to see if you can get them on the app. That way, all consultations can be held through My Mobility. But if you can’t get them to use the app, don’t worry. My Mobility has a team of professionals ready to provide joint recovery tips and support 24/7.
Second, it also provides you 24/7 access to guides and exercises on how to deal with post-operation joint pain. Dr. David Crawford stresses that post-recovery is all about maintenance. You need to exercise regularly, eat properly, and in many cases, use the right supplements.

Note: Do not attempt to perform any exercise that isn’t specified by the app or your surgeon. Overexerting your joints prematurely might lead to a relapse.

Lastly, it’s very easy to use. My Mobility app has a very user-friendly interface perfect for an array of people. Whether you’re a tech-savvy millennial in your 20s or a senior who only knows how to use Facebook, we guarantee that you’ll be able to navigate through the system with ease.

Bottom Line Overall, the My Mobility app is a great tool. Dr. David Crawford advises all recovering joint replacement patients to install the app in their smartphones.

Dr. David Crawford on the link between obesity and arthritis

Joints carry the weight of the entire body, and Dr David Crawford believes that there is a direct correlation between a person’s weight and their risk of developing arthritis. The more weight a person has to carry, the harder it is for joints to work properly, and this is because joint forces in the hips and knees increase about three times that weight with normal walking. 15 pounds of extra body weight are felt by the knees as an extra 45 pounds, contributing significantly to the accelerated joint wear-and-tear. Therefore, the chance of developing arthritis is strongly associated with body weight and individuals with a high BMI tend to get it at a younger age. Additionally, obesity may also lead to complications following joint replacement surgery. Obese patients have a higher chance of infection, blood clots, and dislocation following hip replacement. The procedure may also take a longer time when performed on an obese patient, because a longer period of anesthesia is necessary...
