Typical Joint Pain Causes
Joint pain refers to discomfort or an aching sensation that may result from an injury, a medical condition, or the natural aging process. Joint pain’s prevalence increases as one ages, and natural wear-and-tear impacts joints.
In addition, inflammation can result from conditions such as infection, overuse, injury, or arthritis, as noted below-
- Arthritis, which has varying symptoms, is a medical disorder that inhibits joint mobility. It can impact women, men, and children. However, arthritis tends to be chronic in nature and likely to worsen with time.
While there are more than 100 types of arthritis, the two primary types include -
- Osteoarthritis Arthritis – is a degenerative condition affecting cartilage in any of the body’s joints that happens gradually and naturally over time.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis – a type of autoimmune disease during which one's immune system mistakenly attacks the shielding layer of the inner part of the joint. This disease is more common in women.
While arthritis is generally the root cause of joint pain, joint pain may also occur due to -
- Potential damage from injuries.
- Overuse or stress on the joint.
- Fibromyalgia.
- Osteoporosis.
- Tendinitis.
