Common Causes of Joint Pain
Understanding the potential causes of joint pain can help gradually rehabilitate you as you get the correct therapy for pain management. For those already experiencing joint pain, it can be helpful to understand the causes to identify what may have caused your condition.
Joint pain is often the result of one of a variety of factors that can be identified by a physical examination:
Osteoarthritis
When the cartilage between your joints wears away, it can cause your joints to become painful and stiff. Osteoarthritis develops slowly and typically occurs at age 45 or later.
A chronic autoimmune disease that makes the immune system attack parts of the body. The joints are a possible target of the condition and can swell and become painful when attacked.
Gout
Acidic crystals form in the body and collect in the joints. This can cause severe pain and swelling in the affected area.
Bursitis
Bursitis is the swelling of the fluid-filled sacs in your joints that act as cushions, called bursa. The swelling itself is often painful, and when the swelling gets bad enough, it can cause further pain to spread through the joints.
Tendinitis
Inflammation of the tendons commonly due to overuse. This condition is most commonly seen in the elbow, heel, or shoulder.
Previous Injuries
Repeated injuries to a joint or the area surrounding the joint can lead to chronic pain developing.
Muscle Overuse
Overusing a set of muscles can put strain on the joints and cause pain. Muscle overuse can also cause further joint damage.
Obesity
Having a high BMI puts strain and added pressure on your joints. Making lifestyle changes like eating a healthy diet and leading a more active lifestyle can help mitigate this cause.
Age
Age-related factors can result in stiff or painful joints.
