Joint pain is a common complaint and includes any discomfort in or around a joint. Your joints form the connection between two or more bones, which are held together and cushioned by ligaments, tendons, muscles, and cartilage.
Though some of your joints are fixed, most of the joints in your body are mobile joints, allowing you to write, stand, and climb stairs. The regular use of your joints takes its toll, making the joints vulnerable to injuries and conditions that cause pain.
When you have joint pain, you may find it hard to manage your daily routine.
You can develop joint pain from an acute injury, overuse, or chronic condition. Common causes of joint pain include:
