Why did joint pain need to consider important?

  2. Joint pain is an indicator of inflammation. Something like burning of fire within the body.
  3. Joint pain comes due to an abnormal balance of the immune system or mechanical changes in the joint. First one is more serious than the second ones.
  4. Joint pain of more than 6 weeks always abnormal and it warns to undergo investigations and evaluation by expertise.
  5. Smoking is the main culprit for corrupting the immune system.
  6. Diet and joint pain are not related anywhere.
