What causes joint pain in Alpharetta?

Arthritis, a chronic degenerative condition that affects bones and tissues in your joints, is often the leading cause of joint pain. Generally, wear-and-tear and autoimmune diseases most commonly cause joint deterioration over time and lead to osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, respectively.

But these types of arthritis aren’t the only causes of joint pain. If your joints are sore and stiff, it could be caused by:

• Bursitis
• Tendinitis
• Infections
• Fibromyalgia
• Trauma or injury

Sometimes, joint pain occurs because of uric acid crystals that develop in your joints. This condition, known as gout, occurs when uric acid levels get too high, possibly due to poor kidney function or having a diet that’s too high in purines (like red meat, seafood, or alcohol).
