What Is Joint Pain?

Joint pain is a condition that results in discomfort, inflammation, and limited movement in one or more joints. Knee pain and shoulder pain can be due to the joints in those areas. It can be caused by many factors such as injury, overuse, arthritis, and autoimmune diseases.

What Are the Causes?

Joint pain can be caused by many factors, including:

• Injury: A sudden impact or force can cause damage to the joints and surrounding tissues. This type of injury is common in sports accidents or car accidents.
• Repetitive motions: Doing the same thing over and over again can wear on the joints, leading to pain and inflammation. Typing all day, playing a musical instrument, or gardening are a few activities that can lead to this type of joint pain.
• Age: As we get older, our bones and joints start to wear down, which can lead to pain and discomfort.
• Diseases: These include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and gout.

• Pain (knee pain, shoulder pain, etc.)
