What is Joint Pain & Arthritis?

Joint pain refers to discomfort, swelling, or stiffness in one or more joints such as the knees, hips, shoulders, or hands. Arthritis is a common condition that causes inflammation and gradual wear and tear of the joints.

There are different types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis (degenerative wear and tear), rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune condition), and post-traumatic arthritis (after injury). These conditions can significantly affect movement and daily activities if not treated properly.

When You Need Joint Pain & Arthritis Treatment

You should seek medical attention if you experience:

• Persistent joint pain that does not improve with rest
• Morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes
• Swelling, redness, or warmth in joints
• Difficulty in walking, climbing stairs, or gripping objects
• Reduced range of motion in joints
• Pain that worsens with activity or at night
• Deformity or visible changes in joint shape

Early diagnosis and treatment can slow disease progression and prevent disability.
