There are a number of reasons pain in joints is witnessed. The most probable being Arthritis, of which there are two types: osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The former is due to damage and wear of the synovial membrane in joints, this is a degenerative issue due to age and causes erosion of the cartilage and bone. The latter is a genetically predisposed condition whereby a person's immune system creates an autoantibody which plays a role in the destruction of the synovial membrane, cartilage and bones of joints - a type of autoimmunity.
