What Is Joint Pain?
Joint pain refers to discomfort, aches, or soreness in any of the body’s joints. It may be short-term or chronic and can stem from a variety of health issues. Common symptoms include stiffness, swelling, limited mobility, and tenderness in the affected area.
Common Causes of Joint Pain
- Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease that occurs when cartilage wears down over time.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune condition that causes inflammation in the joints.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion joints.
- Gout: A type of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in a joint.
- Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons, often due to overuse or repetitive movement.
- Injuries: Sprains, fractures, or ligament tears resulting from sports, accidents, or repetitive strain.

You should consult an orthopedic specialist if joint pain:
- Lasts more than a few days
