Joint pain evaluation
Joint pain has many possible causes — from wear-and-tear arthritis to autoimmune conditions to infection.
Common symptoms
- Pain in one or multiple joints
- Swelling or warmth around a joint
- Reduced range of motion
- Pain pattern that helps narrow the cause
What it involves
A clinical exam, blood tests, and sometimes imaging to distinguish between mechanical, inflammatory or infectious causes.
What to expect
Treatment depends entirely on the underlying cause — accurate diagnosis is the most important first step.
