Overview
Joint pain is quite common and it typically manifests in the hands, foot, hips, knees, or spine. Pain may be ongoing or intermittent. The joint may occasionally feel stiff, achy, or sore. A searing, throbbing, or “grating” feeling is reported by some patients. Furthermore, the joint could be stiff in the morning but get looser and feel better with activity. However, excessive activity could exacerbate the pain.
Joint pain can make it difficult for a person to perform simple chores and may even alter how well the joint works. The quality of life might be impacted by extreme joint pain. Treatment should concentrate on the impaired activities and functioning as well as the discomfort.
