Why Do My Joints Ache?

Feeling the onset of pain in your joints? You may have:

Reaction to medicines: Meds may be designed to treat you, but some, particularly antibiotics like penicillin, could spark an adverse reaction that fuels your agony.

Gout: This painful condition is caused by a build-up of uric acid, which forms crystals that cause inflammation in your joints.

Rheumatoid arthritis: A long-term autoimmune disorder that primarily affects joints. It typically results in warm, swollen, and painful joints.

Osteoarthritis: A type of joint disease that results from breakdown of joint cartilage and the underlying bones.

Injury: This is amongst the most common causes. A sprain or bad posture can result in injuries to your joints.

Obesity: Our joints carry the weight of our bodies. The more weight you carry, the harder it is for your joints to work properly.
