What is Chronic Joint Pain?
Joint pain is joint discomfort that occurs due to joint diseases, joint injury or joint disorder. Joint aches may be felt in the joints themselves or experienced with every joint movement.
– We say a person has joint pain because they’re feeling kind of uncomfortable in their joints and it’s painful if they make any movement involving those joints.
– The pain gets worse as time goes on and stops when you stop moving your joint around for a little while. It’s not like some soreness where you can rest it and it gets better, but it does go away eventually on its own after a few weeks or months have passed.
– Joint pains are more often than not caused by joint injuries or joint disease, but joint disorders such as arthritis may also cause these symptoms. There are different types of joint pain that we will discuss in this article including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, joint pain from an injury, joint pain due to joint disease.
Why You Get Chronic Pain in Joints?
– Joint aches can be caused by overuse or repetitive motion that puts stress on the joints in your body such as when you sit too long without moving around enough. Sometimes joint pains are felt only after a person has been sitting for a while and it feels like their muscles are locking up.
– Joint pain is more common in adults and the elderly, joint disorders such as arthritis can lead to joint aches but joint injuries are also a cause of joint pains which we will discuss next.
What Are The Different Types Of Joint Pain?
– Joint aches are commonly caused by joint injury or joint disease, but joint disorders may also cause these symptoms. When joint pain is caused by joint injuries, it can be due to joint trauma or joint overuse that results in joint damage. Joint injuries can happen through major traumas like an accident where the joint experiences sudden and severe movement, acute joint dislocation, and excessive joint pressure such as from carrying heavy loads without being able to support the weight well.
– There are three types of joint injuries: subluxations (joints that were temporarily out of place), intra-articular fractures (breaking on the inside of a joint) and dislocations (joints that have been displaced). Dislocations are joint injuries that cause the joint to be forced out of its usual position and subluxations are joint injuries where there is a partial or complete displacement, but it only lasts for a short time.
– The most common types of joint pain are osteoarthritis (a type of arthritis) which occurs when joint cartilage breaks down over time and joint pain from injury.
– Joint disease may also cause joint aches but joint injuries are more common. Some types of joint diseases include rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis which is a major type of joint disorder that causes irreversible damage to the joints, leaving them stiff and sore over time as cartilage in the joint breaks down and the joint loses its normal range of motion.
– Joint pain may also be caused by overuse or repetitive joint movements which can put stress on your joints such as when you sit too long without moving around enough and this leads to joint pains like muscle locking up.
The types of joint pain depend on what is causing it; some common joint disorders include joint pain due to joint disease and joint pain from injury.
– Joints are the points of connection in your body that allow for movement, if you experience joint pains, it is most likely because of a joint disorder or joint injuries such as from an accident.
– The type of joint pain someone has will depend on what joint disorder they have or what joint injury has occurred.
What Causes Severe Joint Pain?
Joint pain is caused by joint injury or joint disease, joint disorders may also cause joint pain. When joint pain is caused by joint injuries, it can be due to joint trauma or joint overuse that results in joint damage. Joint injuries can happen through major traumas like an accident where the joint experiences sudden and severe movement, acute joint dislocation, and excessive joint pressure such as from carrying heavy loads without being able to support the weight well.
What are the Common Symptoms Of Joint Pain?
The common symptoms of joint pains are
- – joint stiffness
- – joint swelling
- – joint popping, crackling and creaking sounds when moving joint
- – joint pain at night while sleeping
- – joint weakness and fatigue.
What is Arthritis?
Arthritis is joint inflammation; it usually affects the joint at multiple locations. Arthritis is considered chronic when joint damage persists for longer than 12 weeks. There are many types of arthritis, including, but not limited to:
– Osteoarthritis – wear and tear in the joint as a result of ageing or overuse
– Rheumatoid Arthritis – inflammation of joints leading to joint pain and physical disability
– Juvenile Arthritis – arthritis in children, starting at very young age
The diagnostic criteria for most arthritic conditions require some type of joint pain lasting more than 3 months, stiffness (tightness) in 7 or more joints on both sides of your body, morning stiffness that lasts 30 minutes or more, general fatigue and limitation in physical function. The diagnosis should also consider factors such as occupation, joint injury, joint deformity and family history.
What is Gout?
Gout is caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood. The uric acid can build up and form crystals, which then attack joint cartilage. Other symptoms include joint stiffness and swelling–especially in a joint like the big toe.
This condition usually affects the big toes, fingers, knees, elbows and wrists because they’re also where most joint fluid accumulates or oozes out. But it can also be acute – for instance when someone drinks a lot of alcohol then stops all at once – or chronic if it’s left untreated over time so that joint damage becomes irreversible.
Some risk factors include painkillers called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), kidney problems from conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, and joint injury.
The medical term for gout is “gouty arthritis”. Treatment includes a change in diet to one that’s low in red meat, alcohol consumption and certain other foods – such as shellfish or spinach which are high in purines (the chemical source of uric acid).
Intermittent use of medications such as colchicine or joint injections of anti-inflammatory drugs is another option. Homeopathy medicines for Gout can help you cure gout completely.
In extreme cases, surgery is needed to remove the affected joint cartilage and replace it with an artificial joint (known as arthroplasty). This operation can be performed on either a single joint at a time – like the big toe – or in more than one joint at a time.
What is Psoriatic Arthritis?
Psoriatic arthritis is a joint condition that affects people with psoriasis. It can cause joint pain, joint stiffness, and joint erosion.
The autoimmune disease occurs in about 20% of people with psoriasis. Doctors aren’t exactly sure why it happens, but it may happen as a result of your body’s reaction to an environmental factor like food, the environment or infection. Like other forms of arthritis, it usually starts between the ages of 20 and 50 years old and has no ethnic or gender association. [Also Read – Homeopathy Treatment of Psoriatic arthritis]

How you could avoid further damage to your joints
A joint can be easily damaged by excessive movements or overuse. When joints are injured, there is a risk of arthritis, joint dislocation, joint displacement and joint pain. The joint will not only cause you pain but will also limit your range of motion.
To avoid joint injuries, you should take precautionary measures. You can apply heat at the joint to increase circulation and decrease pain; rest it until the joint feels better or use a brace for immobilization. If in case treatments don’t work, make sure to consult your doctor who will provide appropriate treatment options based on a diagnosis of your joint pain.
How to alleviate or manage pain?
It’s important to treat joint pain when it starts because long-term joint damage can often result. Exercise, joint support supplements and surgery are all ways to manage joint pain.
– Exercise: It’s important for people with joint pains to keep moving so they do not develop muscle atrophy or stiffness in the joints. Exercising can help prevent this from happening by strengthening muscles around a joint that may have been weakened due to long periods of immobility.
– Joint Support Supplements: Another way to alleviate joint pain is by taking supplements that contain joint supports like glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. These nutrients are necessary for the cartilage in a joint, which can help prevent osteoarthritis from developing because they stimulate production of synovial fluid and inhibit inflammation.
– Surgery: Joint replacement surgery is a joint pain treatment that can alleviate joint pain by replacing an arthritic joint or damaged joint with artificial parts. The person may need to undergo extensive physical therapy following the surgery, but these treatments are much less detrimental than living in constant discomfort from joint pain.
Many people who experience joint pains live life in pain.

When To See a Doctor?
When you are in pain continuously, it is important to keep an eye out for new painful joints that may be the source of your discomfort. New joint pains should not be taken lightly and deserve immediate medical attention because they can signify a serious problem like arthritis which could compromise other parts of our body and cause severe joint pain. If this describes what’s going on with you and having painful joints, make sure to see our doctor who can provide medical advice.
