Joints are essential for body movements as they are the hinges that connect bones together. They can vary in size, from small finger joints to large hip joints. Cartilage lines the inside of the joint, while a joint capsule encases it and holds the joint fluid in place. Joint pain can result from various causes such as arthritis, trauma, and inflammation. Those experiencing joint pain may report stiffness and pain while moving the joint or when bearing weight. In some cases, the affected joint may swell, lock, or give-way, indicating more severe damage.
