Joint pain is discomfort in any place where two bones meet, such as the knees, shoulders, hips, fingers, or ankles. It is very common and can range from a mild ache to sharp, limiting pain. Joint pain may affect one joint or several at once. It can come from a recent injury or develop slowly over months and years. For many people it comes and goes with activity or weather.
Signs include aching, stiffness, swelling, warmth, tenderness, or reduced movement. Some joints feel stiff in the morning or after resting, then loosen with gentle activity.
