JOINT PAIN

A joint is the connection made between bones in the body which allow you to move about. They are constructed to allow for different degrees and types of movement. Some joints, such as the knee, elbow, and shoulder are self-lubricating, they are able to withstand compression and allow you to carry heavy loads. Joint injuries or disorders (e.g. rheumatism) cause pain which restricts your movement. Joint pain is commonly caused due to injury or autoimmune problem like arthritis.30

JOINT PAIN SYMPTOMS
Pain in a single joint may include different symptoms such as knee pain, inflammation in the joint lining, gout. Pain in multiple joints can include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, viral infection causing arthritis, lupus and scleroderma.30
