There is another reason for joint pain! ! !

Joint pain is a common symptom in life. Many people have suffered from joint pain. Joint pain will affect our daily life and work. Many people are not very clear about the causes of joint pain. Only by knowing the causes can we better prescribe the right medicine for treatment. So what are the causes of joint pain?

1. Pain caused by strain

Due to the relatively large amount of activity in the joints, the muscles and other soft tissues around the joints become strained, which in turn causes pain. Common injuries include lumbar muscle strain, periarthritis of the shoulder, tennis elbow, etc.

2. Osteoporosis

Elderly women experience pain in multiple joints throughout the body, feel extremely weak, and are unable to walk with weight. If other diseases are ruled out, they may have osteoporosis.

3. Pain caused by tumors

The appearance of local tumors in the joints is also one of the important factors causing joint pain, which is more common in children and the elderly during their growth and development period. If joint swelling and pain occur, the pain is more severe at night than during the day, painkillers are ineffective, and there is no reasonable explanation, you should go to the hospital for further examination to rule out joint tumors.

4. Ligament Injury Around Joints

The stability of the knee ligaments is relatively poor when the knee joint is slightly flexed. If it is suddenly subjected to external force and causes eversion or inversion at this time, it may cause injury to the medial or lateral collateral ligament. The patient will have a clear history of trauma, knee pain, swelling, bruising, and limited motion.

5. Cartilage damage

It is mainly a meniscus injury of the knee joint. When the knee joint is slightly bent, if the knee is suddenly excessively internally rotated or externally extended (for example, the action of bending the calf, turning around and kicking the ball in football), it may cause a meniscus tear. Meniscus injury will cause an obvious tearing feeling in the knee, followed by joint pain, limited movement, limping when walking, and popping when the joint moves.

6. Autoimmune system diseases

Immune system diseases such as lupus erythematosus and psoriasis can also affect the joints and cause swelling and pain, which require blood tests to assist in diagnosis.

7. Growing pains in children

This type of patients are mainly children in the growing period, and boys are more common. The pain is commonly found in the knee joint, hip joint, etc. This situation is a normal physiological phenomenon that occurs during children's growth and development. Because the bones of children in the growth stage grow relatively quickly, the growth and development of the periosteum and local muscles are not coordinated, which causes discomfort and joint pain. It is also believed that the pain is caused by a low-grade infection.
