Joint Pain

Description:

Joint pain refers to discomfort, aching, or inflammation in one or more joints of the body. It can be caused by injury, infection, or chronic conditions such as arthritis. The pain may range from mild to severe and can significantly impact mobility and quality of life.

Causes:

• Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease.
• Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition causing joint inflammation.
• Injury or trauma, such as sprains or fractures.
• Gout, a condition caused by uric acid buildup in the joints.
• Infectious arthritis due to bacterial or viral infections.
• Bursitis, inflammation of the cushioning sacs around joints.

Persistent or worsening joint pain should be evaluated by a medical professional to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
