Joint Pain - Do You Suffer With it?

Joint pain affects all age groups.

Joint pain, or Arthralgia, can affect all of your body’s joints from head to toe.

Children, adults and the elderly are all at risk of joint pain - from injury, illness or just wear and tear.

Joints are responsible for facilitating movements in various parts of the body – and are susceptible to injury or excess physical pressure.

Sportsmen and women routinely subject their joints to increased risk of injury as a consequence of their physical pursuits, but older people can often suffer joint pain because of age related complications such as decreased bone density.

The obese and those who are overweight may also experience joint pain in their back, hips, knees and ankles because of the excess weight they are carrying.

The majority of people have experienced some type of joint pain at some time in their lives, and an injured or swollen joint can cause much discomfort - with some people far more severely affected than others.

As we rely on our joints for everyday functionality joint pain can make life very difficult and extremely frustrating to cope with, especially when it hampers your ability to perform normal daily activities. Simple tasks like getting out of bed, brushing your hair, carrying the shopping or even just moving about the house can be arduous and may aggravate the pain even more.

Dependent upon the cause of your joint pain, you may suffer with it for a relatively short period of time - or it may trouble you for the rest of your life.
