Joint Pain as a Symptom And What It Means For Your Overall Health
While many people view joint pain as their primary concern, it is often a symptom of an underlying medical condition. Finding the root cause of your pain is the first step towards building an effective treatment plan that addresses your joint pain. Some of the more common causes of joint pain we diagnose in our Dearborn patients include:
- Osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint changes
- Bursitis
- Tendon or ligament injuries
- Sports and overuse injuries
- Previous injuries that never fully healed
Depending on the specific cause of your joint pain, you may experience different types of discomfort as well. We’ll take a closer look at different types of joint pain and how that can impact your care.

What Your Joint Pain Can Be Telling You
As there are several causes of joint pain, two patients with different root causes can present with entirely different symptoms. This includes different perceptions of pain, with patients describing their joint pain as:
- Dull, persistent aching
- Sharp pain during certain movements
- Stiffness after sitting or sleeping
- Swelling or tenderness
- Clicking, grinding, or catching sensations
These types of joint pain are among the clues your body may be sending you, which our joint pain specialists will use to help develop a custom pain management plan for you.
When to See a Joint Pain Specialist
For some patients, deciding whether to see a joint pain specialist can be confusing. Some patients may believe that their joint pain isn’t severe enough to seek specialized care, and others may feel that their primary care provider can manage their pain. While primary care providers can help some patients with joint pain, they often lack the specialized care needed for complex cases. Joint pain specialists can provide you with more treatment options than your primary care provider as well. As for patients who haven’t made the decision to see a specialized joint care provider, we typically recommend patients seek care when:
- Their pain has lasted for several weeks
- Their pain is continuing to get worse
- Pain is interfering with their daily life
- At-home pain management treatments have failed
