Joint pain can be caused by different types of injuries or pathologies, such as arthritis, fractures, infections or muscle strain, among other factors that can cause inflammation and pain. In this sense, some of the warning signs that indicate a condition in the joints may be tenderness, redness, increased temperature in the affected area or difficulty in movement.
If the pain is not caused by a disease, such as arthritis or lupus, the main recommendations from experts are rest and moderate exercise. Likewise, massages, stretching exercises or lukewarm baths can be performed to try to alleviate the symptoms.
