What is Joint Pain?
Joint pain (medically known as arthralgia) is discomfort, stiffness, or soreness in one or more joints — the points where two or more bones meet. It can range from mildly irritating to completely debilitating, affecting your ability to walk, work, and carry out daily activities. Joint pain affects millions across Odisha and is one of the most common reasons people visit a doctor.
At OARC, Bhubaneswar, our specialist team led by Prof. Dr. Jyoti Ranjan Parida provides accurate diagnosis and evidence-based treatment for all causes of joint pain — from common arthritis to complex autoimmune conditions.
Common Causes of Joint Pain
- Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
- Osteoarthritis
- Gout and Pseudogout
- Psoriatic Arthritis
- Lupus (SLE)
- Ankylosing Spondylitis
- Reactive Arthritis
- Infectious Arthritis (Septic Joint)
- Fibromyalgia

Joint pain lasting more than a few weeks that does not resolve with rest or over-the-counter medicines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is joint pain always arthritis?
No. While arthritis is a common cause, joint pain can arise from many conditions including gout, infections, autoimmune diseases, bursitis, tendinitis, and injury. Accurate diagnosis by a specialist is essential to identify the exact cause and choose the right treatment.
Why see a rheumatologist for joint pain instead of a general physician?
Rheumatologists specialise in joint, muscle, and autoimmune diseases. They can identify inflammatory and autoimmune causes that general physicians may miss, and prescribe targeted treatments — including DMARDs and biologics — that prevent joint damage and long-term disability.
How is joint pain diagnosed at OARC?
We use a comprehensive approach: detailed history, clinical examination, blood tests (RA factor, anti-CCP antibodies, ANA panel, uric acid, ESR, CRP), imaging (X-rays, ultrasound, MRI), and where needed, joint fluid analysis. This allows us to give you a precise diagnosis rather than a generic “arthritis” label.
Can joint pain be cured?
Many causes of joint pain can be fully treated (e.g. infectious arthritis, gout). For chronic conditions like RA, modern treatments can achieve remission — meaning no active inflammation or pain — allowing patients to live normal lives. Early specialist care is key to the best outcomes.
Does OARC see patients from outside Bhubaneswar?
Yes. OARC serves patients from across Odisha — Cuttack, Puri, Sambalpur, Berhampur, and beyond — as well as neighbouring states. We also offer teleconsultation for follow-up visits. Call +91 63708 77666 to book.
