Patient question
Can inability to bear weight be a sign of septic arthritis?
Short answer
Yes. Inability to bear weight: common among people with septic arthritis. It does not work the same way in reverse — for most people with this symptom the cause turns out to be something else, and more common — so it is not a diagnosis on its own.
This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.
