Joint pain or muscle pain—how can you tell the difference? 🤔
Muscle pain often feels like soreness, tightness, cramping, or tenderness in the soft tissue around a joint. Joint pain is more likely to feel deeper and may be accompanied by stiffness, swelling, reduced range of motion, or discomfort when putting weight on or moving the joint. 🦵
The location and pattern of your discomfort can provide important clues, but the cause isn’t always obvious. Pain in one area may also be influenced by how other parts of the body are moving and functioning.
If joint pain is persistent, recurring, or interfering with everyday activities, an evaluation can help identify possible contributing factors and determine the right next steps. ✅
