Joint Pain Symptoms, Causes, Types and Prevention

Joint painIt sounds like a common symptom, but it also has a high attack rate among chronic diseases worldwide. Joint pain, factors that affect normal functioning state, do not necessarily occur in old age.

Types of joint pain

Arthralgia generally refers to pain that occurs in one or more joints of the human body, with swelling and tenderness as the main manifestations. The main cause of pain is degeneration of cartilage or damage to connective tissue.

1. Degenerative joint pain

Related to the degeneration of physiological function, degenerative arthritis mostly occurs in the people at middle-aged and elderly. However, as the lifestyle changes in modern society, unhealthy habits such as seating still for long hours will contribute to joint degeneration. Other improper use or overuse of the joints, for instance obesity and bow legs will also have a bad effect on joint. Initially, the symptoms of degenerative joints are not obvious. But the pain gets worse and obvious over time, evolving to chronic pain. You feel the pain even when you are not moving.

2. Joint pain caused by uric acid accumulation

It is related to uric acid crystals caused by improper diet, and the difference from degeneration is that the symptoms come on suddenly and go away quickly. The main location is mostly a single joint, especially the fingers and toes. The attack site is not only painful, but also red, swollen, and hot. If neglected for a long time, it will lead to joint deformation.

3. Joint pain caused by immunity

It is related to autoimmunity. It is more common in women and middle-aged people. It is also related to genetics. Most of them have no obvious symptoms when they are young and do not show symptoms until middle age. This symptom is similar to the above two. At the same time, the joints will also be red, swollen and hot. More specifically, there will be symmetrical pain, such as pain in both left and right hand joints.
