SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF JOINT PAIN

  • Il dolore varia da un dolore sordo e costante a una sensazione improvvisa e acuta.
  • Pain manifested in and around the joints.
  • Il dolore può irradiarsi verso i muscoli.

CAUSES OF JOINT PAIN

  • Mechanical causes

  • Infezioni
  • Febbre

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF JOINT PAIN

  • In the case of infections, the immune system sends white blood cells to fight off the infection, leads to inflammation, which causes joint pain.
  • Stimulation of specialized pain-sensitive nerve fibres (nociceptors) that innervate bone tissue leads to the sensation of bone and joint pain.
  • Bone pain originates from both the periosteum and the bone marrow which relay nociceptive signals to the brain creating the sensation of pain. Bone tissue is innervated by both myelinated (A beta and A delta fiber) and unmyelinated (C fiber) sensory neurons.
  • In combination, they can provide an initial burst of pain, initiated by the faster-myelinated fibers, followed by a slower and longer-lasting dull pain initiated by unmyelinated fibers.
  • In referred body pain, increased excitation of the spinal cord occurs. Muscular spasm is mostly secondary to a painful lesion in another muscle or joint.
