Joint Pain Q&A

What is joint pain?

Your joints consist of tendons, muscles, bones, ligaments, and cartilage. Joint discomfort is a common problem often associated with aging or arthritis. This pain develops in areas that connect two bones together, such as your toes, ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, or fingers. 

The Rediscover Health experts help you achieve superior joint health, minimizing discomfort and disability.  

Which symptoms can joint problems cause?

Joint issues can lead to:

  • Swelling
  • Stiffness
  • Redness
  • Decreased range of motion
  • Reduced mobility
  • Joint aching
  • Painful joints
  • Warmth
  • Deterioration
  • Tenderness
  • Pain with movement

You may eventually develop joint deformities if arthritis or other joint concerns aren’t addressed.
