Joints and muscles

Everyday aches, arthritis and how to keep joints and muscles working well.

Joints let us move, and the muscles around them protect them. Aches and stiffness are among the most common reasons people seek relief, from a strained back after a long day at a desk to the wear of osteoarthritis in the knees.

How it works

How it works

Cartilage covers the ends of bones, cushioned by joint fluid. Strong muscles take load off the joint. Inflammation, whether from strain, wear or immune activity, causes pain, warmth and stiffness. Topical remedies work locally, on receptors in the skin and on blood flow beneath it.

What strains it

  • Long hours of sitting and poor posture
  • Extra body weight, which multiplies the load on knees
  • Sudden, unaccustomed exercise
  • Age-related wear of cartilage
  • Changes in weather, which many people say they feel in their joints

Habits that protect it

  • Stand up and move every half an hour
  • Strengthen the thighs and core to protect knees and back
  • Warm up before exercise
  • Keep a healthy weight
  • Warmth and gentle massage can ease everyday stiffness

See a doctor if you notice

  • A hot, red, swollen joint
  • Pain with fever
  • Back pain with numbness in the legs or loss of bladder control
  • Pain after an injury that prevents walking

Questions to ask your doctor

Writing questions down helps you get the most from a short consultation.

Make a list of your medicines
  1. Is this likely to be strain, wear or inflammation?
  2. Do I need an X-ray or blood tests?
