What are the causes of joint pain?
- Osteoarthritis
This is the type of arthritis that occurs with the tear of flexible tissue present at the end of bone, also called cartilage. The pain at the onset is minimal, but it worsens with the passing time.
- Rheumatoid arthritis
It is an autoimmune and inflammatory disease, majorly affecting the joints of the individual, including hands and feet. In this condition, the body's immune system attacks the joint and its tissues. Those who are severely affected suffer from internal organ damage. This explodes constant swelling and pain in the affected area. Those with long-term RA may suffer from joint deformity or bone erosion.
- Bursitis
This condition occurs often at the joints where inflammation filled with fluid gets deposited in the form of pads called bursae. Such cushioned pads at the joints are the consequences of frequent repetitive motion over the joints. Although this can be treated without any surgery involved, the arousing pain over the affected area restricts movement while causing swelling and stiffness.
- Tendonitis
Experiencing irritation or inflammation over a tendon (any fibrous cord connecting bone and muscles) is referred to as Tendinitis. Tremendous tenderness and pain can be experienced right outside the joint during this condition. Although this condition can occur in any of your tendons, the most common areas affected are the elbows, shoulders, heels, wrists, and knees.
- Gout
Gout is caused when a lot of uric acid gets deposited in the joints, leading to swelling, tenderness, and severe pain. This kind of arthritis can be diagnosed easily as it leads to excessive swelling over the affected area often overnight. However, chronic pain and inflammation can be reduced with the help of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Those suffering from gout can get some kind of relief by making changes in their diet, minimizing alcohol intake, and exercising. Although this condition requires orthopedic intervention where you’d be put on medication to reduce those rises in uric acid levels.
- Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ)
The condition of the tendered jawline, facial discomfort, and headache is referred to as TMJ. The most affected areas are the jaw joint and facial muscles. With TMJ, it becomes difficult to chew while clicking and locking.
- Joint effusion
Those experiencing swelling in the joint caused by the secretion of additional fluid over the joint tissues are referred to as Joint effusion. The accumulated fluid often makes your joint appear puffier and larger than usual.
- Hypothyroidism or fibromyalgia
All those suffering from hypothyroidism may show symptoms of fibromyalgia like joint or muscle pain, tenderness, stiffness, and fatigue. This is an autoimmune disease affecting almost 10% of the total population.
- Sprains
Experiencing pain due to stretching or possible tearing of ligaments causes tremendous pain, and swelling is referred to as a sprain. Although it can occur anywhere, the most common area for a sprain is the ankle. Those suffering from a mild sprain can treat themselves at home with the RICE technique (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation). An acute sprain may need health care intervention and medication for relief.
