How joint pain can affect you?
Joint pain can affect you in many ways, depending on where it is felt. Knee pain can make activities like walking, playing sports and dancing uncomfortable. If pain is in your shoulder, you may feel discomfort when you lift things, while hip pain can make going upstairs or simply getting up from a chair painful.

If joint pain is accompanied by swelling, redness, tenderness and warmth around the joint, it is recommended that you visit a doctor, who may recommend light exercise or order one or more tests, such as an X-ray, or blood test to help determine the source of the pain and the most appropriate treatment. Your doctor may recommend anti-inflammatory medication to reduce the inflammation and alleviate the pain.
