Why Joint Point Can Lead To Bigger Problems For You

Dr. Tips • March 12, 2019

According to doctors, joint pain is described as feeling discomfort around one or more of your joints.


Did you know that up to 30% of adults in the U.S. reported experiencing in the last 30 days some form of joint pain? In rare cases, the joint pain may indicate that something severe is going on, such as a sexually transmitted disease, Lyme disease, or other worse. Yet, the most common reason for joint pain is that your joints are getting older, he says.


Having an injury earlier in your life may increase your risk of joint pain later. This article will discuss the different causes of joint pain and possible ways to fix it naturally. 


What are some of the most common issues that cause joint pain? 


Bursitis is a fluid-filled sac that serves as a cushion between the bone and other moving parts of the body. The underlying problem may be a thyroid issue. RA is an autoimmune disease that is overwhelmingly aimed at women: 75 percent of the more than 1.3 million people who have RA are female. Have ever experienced a ligament tear in your knee in your 20s? As a result, you get arthritis 10, 20, or 30 years later. 


If you have hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough of the thyroid hormones the body needs.


Image that you get a small cut or puncture wound, nearby joints can get contaminated with bacteria. Untreated septic arthritis will lead to full-body sepsis, which can be fatal. You may have some gout, such as swelling, redness, and hard-to-do pain. Likewise, overloading on protein, drinking too much alcohol, or sugary beverages can cause gout. 


Why it's important to listen to your joint pains?


Did you know that every year, a record 30,000 people are bitten by a tick carrying a tick with Lyme disease in the U.S?


Early signs of Lyme disease include tiredness, fever, headache, and a bullseye-shaped rash. Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can break down all of your joints if left untreated. Gonorrhea may have been the fault; it can also damage your joints. Gonococcal arthritis is shockingly the most common among sexually active teen girls, more so than men.
