Joint and muscle pain is often caused by overuse or injury and is usually experienced as a tenderness or discomfort, inflammation of the area, bruised feeling, or restriction from any sort of movement.
Joint pain can affect any part of your body; it is common in ankle, knee, hip joint, back, neck and shoulder. Joint pain can cause acute pain (that goes away after a few days or weeks) to chronic pain (lasting several weeks or months); whether the pain is mildly irritating or debilitating, the pain and swelling in the joints can affect your quality of life.
If pain worsens or persists for 3 days or more, consult a doctor.
