Causes Of Body Joint Pain And Ways To Deal With It

By Mike Herman
In the human body, one or more joints can be affected by joint pain and contradictory to the common fallacy, joint pain can affect a person of any age group.

In fact, joint pains are afflicting an increasing number of young people these days and the causes of body joint pain are diverse.

The most common causes of body joint pain include injury to the ligaments, bursae or the tendons of the concerned joint.

Injury not only affects the ligaments but can also impact the cartilage and bones of the joint. Pain is one of the strongest symptoms of joint inflammation and joint infection.

Pain can also signal the presence of a tumor within the joint. Joint pain has many variations to its name, the medical term being Arthralgia.

Injury or swelling of joints is one of the main causes of body joint pain. Joint pain can be subdivided into two general categories namely, acute joint pain and chronic joint pain.

Acute joint pain affects the joints temporarily. It generally lasts for a few passing seconds or longer, but sooner or later it will decline as the healing process takes place.

Chronic joint pain varies from mild to severe, and usually lasts for a relatively longer period of time.

Causes Of Joint Pain

Joint pain can be caused due to a variety of reasons. Some of the most common reasons for joint pain include:


  • Arthritis
  • Aseptic Necrosis
  • Bursitis
  • Osteochondritis Dissecans
  • Sickle Cell Disease or Sickle Cell Anemia
  • Steroid Withdrawal
  • Tearing of cartilage
  • Bone fracture
  • Septic arthritis
  • Sprain
  • Synovial sarcoma
  • Tendonitis


The other causes of body joint pain include rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that leads to stiffness and pain in the joints.

On the other hand, osteoarthritis involves deterioration of the cartilage surrounding the joint. Osteoarthritis is fairly common among people in their mid forties and above.

Another common cause for joint pain is bursitis. Bursitis means the inflammation or the swelling of the bursae.

Similarly, there are further causes for joint pain, which include septic arthritis, tendonitis and infectious diseases like influenza, rheumatic fever and hepatitis. External damage like fractures and sprains are also one of the main causes of body joint pain.

Remedial measures for joint pain

Home remedies can be effective, but before using them it is advisable to get the cause and type of the joint pain diagnosed. This can be done with the help of a few inexpensive medical tests. There are many easy-to-do and natural methods of achieving relief from joint pain.

Devil's claw has proved to be effective in the treatment of body joint pain. However, it is advisable to consult a doctor before attempting this method. There are many people who swear by its effectiveness, and its ability to cure painful joints, making mobility easier.

Glucosamine has been well tested, and is considered to be an extremely effective method of easing arthritis pain. However, in some cases, side effects do occur.

Different types of arthritis require various methods of preparation of glucosamine. Studies have shown that this product can be effective.

Nevertheless, it is strongly recommended to first consult with your doctor before trying out this potent product.

Water therapy is another popular remedy for joint pain.

It is also known as water aerobics as it involves performing different types of aerobics exercises in a pool.

Joint pain is certainly not life threatening, but it can definitely cause a lot of suffering and discomfort, making it amongst one of the most debilitating conditions ever encountered by man.
