Joint Pain
Joints are where your bones meet. Each bone is connected to another by flexible tendons and ligaments, allowing them to bend and rotate. Some of the major joints in your body include the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. Together, they allow you to perform most of your daily functions.
What is joint pain?
Joint pain can be described as pain, soreness, or discomfort felt in any of your joints. It is a very common affliction, with most people experiencing it at some point in their lives.
Most cases of joint pain are simply the result of everyday use or minor injuries. Symptoms are generally mild and can usually be treated with at-home remedies. However, in some cases joint pain can become severe and persistent, and may require specialized care by a healthcare professional.
