Understanding Joint Pain: The Basics
Joint pain refers to discomfort, soreness, or stiffness that occurs in or around the affected joint. This pain can arise from numerous causes, including autoimmune diseases, injuries, or chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. At the Rheumatology Center of Delaware, we prioritize diagnosing and treating the root causes of your joint inflammation to ensure effective relief.
Conditions Associated with Joint Pain
Rheumatoid Arthritis: More Than Just Joint Pain
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting peripheral joints, causing pain and swelling. Early diagnosis and treatment at the Rheumatology Center of Delaware can help prevent long-term damage.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Joint Pain as a Symptom
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can cause joint pain and stiffness, similar to rheumatoid arthritis. Our team provides targeted treatments for both systemic and joint symptoms, ensuring comprehensive care.
Psoriatic Arthritis: Joint Inflammation Linked to Skin Condition
Psoriatic joint disease affects people with psoriasis, causing pain in the hands, knees, and spine. We offer therapies to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and slow disease progression.

Let's Bust A Myth!
Myth: Rheumatic disease is another name for arthritis
Truth: Picture rheumatic diseases as the extended “family reunion” of arthritis—except these guests show up with an extra punch. They’re autoimmune and inflammatory, meaning your immune system decides to go rogue and wrestle with your joints, muscles, bones, and sometimes organs. It’s not just rheumatoid or juvenile arthritis at the party; you’ll also see psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, lupus, gout, and scleroderma joining the fun. In short, they’re a rowdy bunch of conditions all under the big arthritis umbrella, but each with its own unique twist.
