What is causing joint pain

When the human body has problems, some symptoms will appear. Different diseases have different symptoms, so there are different ways and methods of treatment. So what is joint pain? Many people are not very clear about it. After such a phenomenon occurs, it is necessary to seek treatment in time, otherwise it will cause serious damage to your health, especially the impact on bones is great.

When there is no problem with the joints, there will be no pain, so what is the cause of joint pain? It has its own reasons, and treatment needs to be done in a timely manner so that the disease can be stabilized and it will not continue to develop.

What causes joint pain:

1. Injury of the ligaments around the joint: The stability of the knee ligaments is relatively poor when the knee joint is slightly flexed. If it is suddenly subjected to external force and causes eversion or inversion at this time, it may cause injury to the medial or lateral collateral ligament. The patient will have a clear history of trauma, knee pain, swelling, bruising, and limited motion.

2. Cartilage damage is mainly meniscus damage of the knee joint. When the knee joint is slightly bent, if the knee is suddenly excessively internally rotated or externally extended (for example, when playing football, bending the calf, turning around and kicking the ball), it may cause a meniscus tear. Meniscus injury will cause an obvious tearing feeling in the knee, followed by joint pain, limited movement, limping when walking, and popping when the joint moves.

3. Synovitis: When the synovium of the joint is damaged due to trauma or excessive strain, a large amount of fluid will accumulate, which will increase the pressure inside the joint, leading to joint pain, swelling, tenderness, and friction and astringent sounds. For example, when the knee joint is actively and extremely extended, especially when the knee extension exercise is performed with a certain resistance, the pain below the patella will be aggravated. The pain is also significantly aggravated during extreme passive flexion.

Through the above introduction, we have explained one by one what causes joint pain. When such a situation occurs, you need to undergo a physical examination in time so that your own problems can be treated in time, the disease will not continue to develop, and the feeling of joint pain can also be reduced.
