Damage to joints from injury or disease can result in severe and chronic pain. There are many conditions that can lead to joint pain including arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, and gout. Strains, sprains, and other injuries can also cause painful joints.
Many describe the pain as a dull constant ache or sharp stabbing deep in the joints. Damage to your joints may result in inflammation and can interfere with your stability and mobility. If untreated, damage to joints can lead to more serious medical problems.

Damage to the Joints
Weight-bearing joints are more susceptible to damage. Knees, shoulders, and hips are the most common areas of complaints by patients.
To reduce your likelihood of developing long-term joint damage, we recommend you get treated early. Regular exercising, weight loss, resting when needed, avoiding smoking can also help reduce your chances of developing long-term joint problems.
Joint pain is often temporary. Some signs that you are dealing with a more long-term problem include:
- Pain that occurs after an injury
- Redness and swelling
- Tenderness around the joint
- A warm feeling around the joint
- Reduced mobility
- Intense pain
- Fever
When treating joint pain, the most minimally invasive options should be explored first. Joint surgery is usually only necessary for older patients who have had a history of aches and pains, or people who have been seriously injured. At Urgentology Care, we offer the conservative joint injection therapy treatment option. This treatment helps reduce joint inflation and can provide long-term relief from chronic pain.
