Muscle Pain Associated With Arthritis

With a healthy joint, supporting muscles work and function naturally to move and functional stabilise the joint. When the joint begins to suffer with degenerative changes, movement and stability becomes more difficult, and consequently the surrounding muscles have to work harder to functionally support the joint. With advanced arthritis, local muscles are working on over-drive. This then leads to muscle fatigue and pain.
