JOINT PAIN SYMPTOMS AND CAUSES

Joints serve as the connecting points between bones, providing support and facilitating movement. Any damage to the joints from injury or disease can significantly impact movement and cause considerable pain.


There are various conditions that can cause joint pain, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, gout, sprains, strains, and other injuries. Joint pain is prevalent and can affect any part of the body, such as the feet, ankles, hands, and shoulders. As a person ages, joint pain becomes increasingly common.


Joint pain can range from mild discomfort to debilitating pain, and it may resolve within a few weeks (acute) or persist for several months (chronic). Even short-term pain and swelling in the joints can have a considerable impact on a person's quality of life. 

SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS ASSOCIATED WITH JOINT PAIN CAN INCLUDE:

JOINT REDNESS

JOINT WARMTH

LOSS OF RANGE OF MOTION OF THE JOINT

JOINT SWELLING

LIMPING

SITFFNESS

JOINT TENDERNESS

LOCKING OF THE JOINT

The sudden onset of pain in multiple joints, also known as acute pain, is frequently caused by inflammation, gout, or the onset or exacerbation of a chronic joint disorder. On the other hand, chronic pain in multiple joints is typically due to osteoarthritis, an inflammatory disorder such as rheumatoid arthritis, or in children, juvenile idiopathic arthritis.


Lifelong physical activity can help maintain range of motion and alleviate symptoms for individuals with chronic arthritis. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience persistent pain in multiple joints, as it can indicate an underlying medical condition that requires appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
