Your joints can hurt and cause pain because of many problems like injuries, arthritis, infection, illness, bone spurs, an allergic reactions to medication, or daily use. These conditions lead to inflammation, aching and joint pain. You are not the only one with these hurts, because one in four people experience joint pain regularly in the feet, hips, knees, back, shoulders or other joints.
Why do your joints hurt? A joint is the point where two bones come together. The elbows, wrist, back, neck, shoulders, hips and knees are some of the important joints. Surrounding each joint is cartilage, a firm tissue that provides a cushion and allows the bones to work together. When cartilage breaks down due to injuries or arthritis, this cushion around the joint fails, causing bones to rub directly against one another. The result is pain or inflammation, a condition where the body's immune system begins to fight healthy tissue, causing redness and swelling.
