Joint Pain
Joint pain is a very common problem with many possible causes - but it's usually a result of injury or arthritis. In older people, joint pain that gets steadily worse is usually a sign of osteoarthritis. It may affect just one joint, or many. See your GP if you have persistent symptoms of osteoarthritis.
The information and advice on this page shouldn't be used to self-diagnose your condition, but may give you a better idea of what's causing your pain. It covers other possible causes of:
- pain in just one joint
- pain in many joints.
