Joint Pain, Stiffness and
Inflammation
Most people think of arthritis when they think of joint pain
stiffness and inflammation, but there are many reasons for this
joint problems.
There are joint problems that are from muscle and
ligament related issues. A torn ligament or the
cartilage ring that surrounds your knee can be injured.
Joint inflammation can occur because of injury, including
fractures, or chronic old injuries.
Joint inflammation can also
occur because of infection, usually caused by bacteria or viruses.
Gout joint inflammation comes from crystals of uric acid which
gets lodged in the joint like slivers of glass. It causes intense
pain in attacks of pin point joint inflammation, usually but not
always confined
to the big toe.
A condition frequently confused with arthritis is bursitis.
It involves inflammation around the joint, rather than the joint
itself. Bursitis causes discomfort, stiffness, tenderness, and
pain in the joint area when one or more of the bursa — small,
fluid-filled sacs near the joints — become inflamed due to
excessive movement, pressure, or trauma
Fibromyalgia is a little understood condition that
can cause stiffness and pain around the joints, as
well as overall aching and fatigue.
And, of course, if someone kicks you in the knee
(or you injure any joint) it's going to get inflamed.
One thing about joint stiffness is that it might be
due to not drinking enough water and being
dehydrated.
