6Painful, swollen joints
Inflammation in the joints is often the underlying stiffness, pain, and visible swelling, especially in the morning. At first, the symptoms may be mild and slowly becomes more evident. Similarly, the painful, swollen joints symptoms often come and go.
Do not hesitate to visit your doctor, if over-the-counter pain medications do not help. There is other better treatment that may help out. But your doctor needs to identify the root cause of the joint inflammation – lupus, arthritis, or other conditions. [6]
