What Causes Joint Pain?
Joint pain can stem from a variety of conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis: A degenerative condition that wears down cartilage in the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced movement.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks the joints, causing inflammation, pain, and eventual joint damage.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the joints, commonly affecting the shoulders, hips, knees, and elbows.
- Tendinitis: Overuse of the tendons surrounding the joints, leading to inflammation and pain, particularly in the knees, elbows, and shoulders.
- Gout: A form of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, often affecting the big toe but can also impact other joints.
- Joint Injuries: Trauma or overuse injuries can cause joint pain, including sprains, strains, dislocations, or fractures.
Symptoms of Joint Pain
Joint pain can present with a range of symptoms, depending on the underlying condition. These may include:
- Aching, sharp, or throbbing pain in one or more joints.
- Swelling or inflammation around the joint.
- Stiffness, especially in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
- Limited range of motion.
- Redness and warmth around the affected joint.
