There can also be an injury resulting in the joint pain of that particular joint. Also as age advances osteoarthritis becomes by far the commonest cause of joint pain. Some blood dyscrasia like rheumatoid arthritis can also be the culprit with sero-positive tests.
Whatever the reason is joint pain results in restricted joint movement and hampered work compatibility. Even back ache is one of the types of joint pains between vertebrae, which is said to be second only to the pain related absenteeism from work, first being common cold. There are also other physiologic and pathologic reasons of joint pains. The doctor has to differentiate between various causes and then treat the condition accordingly.
