Joint Problems

Symptoms

Pain, swelling, or tenderness in one or more joints is a warning sign that you may be developing arthritis. 

Visit the Arthritis topic for more information on osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout.

Symptoms of soft tissue joint conditions include:

  • Swelling.
  • Aching or pain in the affected area, usually worsening with exercise, reaching, or at night. This can make it hard to sleep on the painful side.
  • Stiffness or reduced range of motion.
  • Tenderness around the joint. 

If a person has fibromyalgia, they may feel pain and tenderness in many muscles. They may also have sleep problems and feel weak and tired.
