If you suffer from a condition that causes joint pain, you know how painful and difficult it is — and how much it affects the other parts of your daily life.

Several different conditions can cause joint pain. Even young people may experience it as a result of an illness or injury. As you age, you may also have a higher chance of developing a condition that causes chronic joint pain or inflammation. These include, among others, arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and gout.

The good news is that in this day and age, there’s much more medical care available to people who suffer from joint pain. Many available medications not only bring relief from joint pain and stiffness but also slow the progression of the disease. This, in turn, may let you regain some ability in the affected joints.
