Joint Pain: Causes, Relief, and What Really Works

When your joint pain, discomfort or stiffness in the areas where two bones meet, like knees, hips, or fingers. Also known as arthralgia, it’s one of the most common reasons people visit doctors in India—especially after 40, or after an injury. It’s not just about aging. Joint pain can come from overuse, inflammation, autoimmune issues, or even something as simple as sitting wrong for too long. The good news? You don’t have to live with it.

Many people mistake joint pain for just arthritis, a group of conditions causing joint inflammation and damage. Also known as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, it’s the most common cause—but not the only one. You could be dealing with inflammation, the body’s natural response to injury or irritation, often causing swelling, heat, and reduced movement. Also known as swelling in the joints, it’s what makes your knee feel tight or your finger stiff in the morning. And if you’ve had surgery or an injury, that pain might be tied to orthopedic swelling, fluid buildup around joints after trauma or procedures like knee replacement. Also known as post-surgical joint swelling, it’s a normal part of healing—but it shouldn’t last forever. What you do next matters. Some turn to painkillers. Others try turmeric, ashwagandha, or yoga. Some even get corticosteroid shots. But what actually works? And what’s just noise?
