Joint pain refers to any discomfort or soreness experienced in one or more joints, where two or more bones meet. This type of pain can be caused by a variety of conditions such as arthritis, gout, bursitis, tendonitis, and injuries to the muscles, ligaments, or tendons surrounding the joint. Joint pain can also result from infections, autoimmune diseases, or crystal deposits that form in the joints. The severity of joint pain can range from mild to severe, and it may be accompanied by swelling, stiffness, redness, and limited mobility. Treatment for joint pain depends on the underlying cause and may include medication, physical therapy, or surgery.
