Why Is Joint Pain Common After 40?
Joint pain after 40 can happen due to multiple reasons.
Lack of regular exercise, low vitamin D levels, hormonal changes, autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, and age-related cartilage loss can all affect bone and joint health.
In women, hormonal changes after 40 may also increase the chances of joint discomfort.
If joint pain continues, affects movement, or increases with time, it should not be ignored.
Consult an orthopaedic surgeon for proper evaluation and treatment guidance.
