WHAT CAUSES JOINT PAIN?

Joint pain is extremely common. In fact, about one-third of American adults report having recently experienced joint pain. This pain can be caused by inflammation in the joint itself or problems with the cartilage, ligaments, tendons, muscles, or bones. It can affect any joint on your body, including your:

  • Knees

  • Elbows

  • Shoulders

  • Ankles

  • Hips

  • Wrists

  • Fingers

Your joints can start causing you pain because of an injury, disease, or wear and tear. Some of the health conditions that can cause pain in your joints include:

  • Osteoarthritis

  • Rheumatoid arthritis

  • Gout

  • Muscle or tendon sprains

  • Tendinitis

  • Lupus
