Joint Pain is discomfort that affects one or more joints in your body. A joint is where the ends of two or more of your bones come together. For example, your hip joint is where your thigh bone meets your pelvis. Joint discomfort is common and usually felt in your hands, feet, hips, knees, or spine. Pain in your joints may be constant, or it can come and go. Sometimes, your joints can feel stiff, achy, or sore. Some people complain of a burning, throbbing, or “grating” sensation. In addition, your joints may feel stiff in the morning but loosen up and feel better with movement and activity. However, too much activity could make your pain worse. Severe, painful joints can interfere with your quality of life. Treatment should focus not only on pain but on getting back to daily activities and living your life to the fullest.
