Factors that increase joint pain risk include age, obesity, joint overuse, repetitive movements, previous injuries, and genetics. Joint pain can range from mild to severely debilitating.
Treating the underlying condition is key. Common treatments include rest, ice/heat, over-the-counter pain medication, prescription anti-inflammatories, physical therapy, braces, and possibly surgery. Maintaining a healthy weight and building muscle strength around the joints can also help reduce strain.
While occasional joint aches are normal with aging, persistent or worsening joint pain should be evaluated by a doctor. Early treatment can often minimize permanent damage and disability. Controlling pain and inflammation is key to preserving joint function.
