Arthritic joint pain is a common condition caused by inflammation or degeneration of the joints, most often due to osteoarthritis or inflammatory arthritis. It can affect any joint in the body, including the knees, hips, shoulders, hands, feet, and spine, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. Symptoms often worsen after periods of inactivity or prolonged use and may interfere with everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or gripping objects. Early assessment and appropriate management can help reduce pain, improve joint function, and maintain an active lifestyle.
