Joint Pain: causes
The term Joint Pain indicates a painful sensation localized within one or more joints of the body that can originate from the joint itself or from tendons and ligaments and can also manifest itself with swelling, redness, stiffness, tingling, heat, loss of function and joint effusion.
The causes of this disorder can be of different origins:
- Traumatic origin: when it occurs following a traumatic event such as a fracture, dislocation, sprain or muscle tear.
- Inflammatory origin: when it results from an inflammatory disease such as arthritis and tendonitis.
- Mechanical origin: when it depends on wear and tear caused by aging, such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.
- Infectious origin: when it is related to viral infections such as influenza.
- Particular physiological conditions: as a symptom of more complex pathologies such as lupus, gout, fibromyalgia, bone cancer etc.
- Other origins: during menopause, pregnancy, in situations of high stress, sedentariness and poor posture.
