Chronic Joint Pain

Chronic joint pain is a long-lasting discomfort in the joints, which are the areas where two bones meet, like knees and elbows. This pain can result from various conditions, including arthritis, injuries, or repetitive use. Unlike temporary pain from a bruise or injury, chronic joint pain persists for months or even years, affecting daily activities and quality of life. It may come with stiffness, swelling, and reduced movement. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms through medications, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, or, in some cases, surgery, aiming to improve function and alleviate discomfort.
