Arthralgia -
Joint Pain
In medicine, arthralgia
(literally: "joint pain", from "arthros"
= "joint" and "-algia" denoting
"pain") is the presence of
painful joints in the absence of
frank arthritis. It is present
in a number of rheumatological
diseases, most notably lupus
erythematosus.
Arthritis (from Greek
arthro-, joint + -itis,
inflammation; plural:
arthritides) is a group of
conditions where there is damage
caused to the joints of the
body. Arthritis is the leading
cause of disability over the age
of 65.
