Joint pain can be caused by many different processes which include degeneration of the articular cartilage, infection, inflammation, trauma and deposition of crystals. Distinguishing one type of joint diagnosis from another is mostly made by taking a history and examining the joint, as this process is able to narrow down the options well.
