What is joint pain?

Joint pain can manifest in different parts of the body, including the fingers, wrists, elbows, or knees. It may be rooted in the cartilage, ligaments, muscles, or bones, but most joint pain stems from arthritis within the joint itself.

Joint pain can be mild or severe, and it can limit your ability to walk, move, or exercise normally.

Joint pain may differ from one person to the next, but it tends to make the affected area feel achy and stiff. You might also experience changes in the texture, color, or temperature of the skin near the affected joint.

What causes joint pain?

Since your joints bear a significant amount of pressure from daily movement, they’re vulnerable to injury and inflammation. Numerous factors can cause joint pain, including:

Injury: trauma, accidents, broken bones, or fractures
Arthritis: including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or psoriatic arthritis
Chronic conditions: like fibromyalgia, cancer, Lyme disease, Paget’s disease

With a comprehensive evaluation, our providers can determine the cause of your joint pain, as well as how best to treat it.
