Bone and Joint Pain

Understanding Bone & Joint Pain

Bone and joint pain can significantly impact daily life, manifesting as aching, stiffness, or discomfort in the joints (e.g., knees, hips, hands) or bones. This pain may stem from various causes, including arthritis (such as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis), injuries, overuse, autoimmune disorders, osteoporosis, or other conditions like gout or bursitis. Symptoms often include swelling, tenderness, warmth, limited mobility, or morning stiffness, which may vary in duration and intensity depending on the underlying cause. While occasional pain may result from physical activity, persistent or worsening pain requires professional evaluation to prevent long-term complications like joint damage or reduced function. At Southeastern Rheumatology Specialists, Dr. Jose Martinez, D.O., offers expert care to diagnose and manage bone and joint pain using advanced diagnostics, such as blood tests, X-rays, ultrasounds, or joint fluid analysis. Treatment plans are personalized, incorporating medications, joint injections, physical therapy, and lifestyle recommendations.
