Joint Pain Symptoms

The nature and severity of your joint pain symptoms will depend to a great extent on the cause.

If the joint pain is due to inflammatory disorders such as injury or forms of arthritis, symptoms may include:

• Fever

• Redness

• Swelling of the joint

• Morning stiffness in the joint 

• Stiffness of the joint after long periods of rest

If the pain is caused by non-inflammatory disorders, symptoms may include:

• Limited morning stiffness in the joint

• Exacerbation of pain with exercise

• Relief from pain with rest

If you are also experiencing symptoms such as fatigue and weight loss, the pain could be triggered by an underlying infectious disease and you should talk to your doctor.
