The Utah Orthopaedics team can diagnose and treat the many causes of chronic joint pain, including:
Joint pain often starts out gradually and gets worse over time, especially if you have conditions like osteoarthritis or osteoporosis. You can experience sudden joint pain if you fracture the joint’s bones during an injury or from too much stress on the joint because of overuse or obesity.

You should also contact the orthopaedic team if your joint pain has lasted six months or longer and affects your ability to be physically active.
