Joint pain symptoms

The most common cause of pain which affects millions of people worldwide is arthritis, more specifically osteoarthritis. Joints become acutely or chronically inflamed thus leading to severe bone wear in the joint. This happens due to lack of synovial fluid production in the joint capsule, leading to friction in between each bone, which in time makes them wear down.  If the bones rub in together without the protective cartilage buffer, they hurt and damage each other. This is why osteoarthritis pain occurs mainly when we are in the movement. Joint capsules shrink and the joint stiffens, thus leading to painful and limited movement.

All joints are prone to develop this disease, but larger ones like knee, hip or shoulder joints, are more likely to be affected.  Also spinal joints tend to be afflicted in many cases.

Usually osteoarthritis evolves from unbalanced body position on the joints or hereditary predisposition.
