About joint pains
Joint pain is among the most common complaints and has many causes: osteoarthritis (wear of the joint cartilage), rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis, gout, injury and overuse, viral illnesses such as chikungunya, vitamin D deficiency, lupus and, rarely, infection. Mechanical pain tends to be worse with activity and better with rest, while inflammatory pain brings morning stiffness lasting more than half an hour, swelling, warmth and often tiredness. Staying active with gentle exercise, keeping a healthy weight, heat or cold packs, physiotherapy and correcting vitamin D deficiency help many people. See a doctor promptly for a hot, red, swollen joint with fever, severe pain after an injury, several joints involved with a rash or fever, or an inability to move a joint. Homeopathic treatment is supportive and individualised.
