Joint Pain. Also called arthralgia, this affects one or more joints. The pain can result from many injuries or conditions. Both rheumatoid arthritis (which causes stiffness and pain in joints) and osteoarthritis (which involves the growth of bone spurs and degeneration of cartilage at a joint) can lead to joint pain. Other possible causes are bursitis, unusual exertion, overuse of a joint, injury (including fracture and tendinitis), and infectious diseases. Treatment depends on condition. Facet Joint Injection, Sarcoliac Joint Steroid Injection could be applied.

Knee Pain. The knee consists of two long leg-bones held together by muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Many knee problems are a result of the aging process and continual wear and stress on the knee joint. Other knee problems result from injury or a sudden movement that stiffens the knee. Common knee problems include: sprained or strained knee ligaments or muscles, torn cartilage, tendinitis, and arthritis.
Treatment depends on condition. Facet Joint Injection, Sarcoliac Joint Steroid Injection could be applied.
