Joint Pain Causes

One of the joint pain causes is deficiency of vitamin C, which leads to
swollen or painful joints or bones, such as shoulder joint pain or pelvic bone pain.

Other symptoms that may indicate deficiency of Vitamin C :
	easy bruising and small spots of bleeding under the skin (which appear as pink spots on the skin)
	slow-healing wounds and fractures
	nosebleeds
	spongy, swollen, bleeding gums and loose teeth
	teeth decay easily
	dry brittle hair
	dry rough scaly skin
	anemia
	fatigue or lethargy or muscle weakness
	loss of appetite
	recurrent colds and infections
	atherosclerosis
	possible weight gain due to slower metabolism

Mineral / vitamin for joint pain prevention :

Foods high in vitamin C include · guava · lychees / litchis · papayas · strawberries · vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, kale, mustard greens, bell peppers, turnip greens, spinach.

Another of the joint pain causes is deficiency of calcium, which contributes to
rheumatoid arthritis; causes tissue damage and chronic inflammation of joints, leading to joint swelling and pain, such as chronic finger joint pain or pelvic bone pain.

Other symptoms that may indicate deficiency of Calcium :
	osteoporosis characterized by brittle, porous bones and frequent bone fractures
	impaired bone mineralization which, in children, can cause rickets (bone softening) which may lead to bone deformities, fractures, or stunted growth
	osteomalacia (bone softening) in adults
	loss of bone mineralization in the jaw
	tooth decay or periodontal disease
	higher levels of lead in bones and teeth
	brittle or misshapened nails
	heart palpitations or abnormal heart rhythms
	risk of hypertension (high blood pressure)
	higher cholesterol levels
	insomnia
	lethargy or chronic fatigue
	poor appetite
	severe deficiency can cause spasmodic contractions of skeletal muscles, symptomized by tingling fingers, toes or lips, numbness in arms or legs, and muscle pain or severe muscular cramps or spasms

Mineral / vitamin for joint pain prevention :

Calcium-rich foods include · fresh dark green vegetables like collard greens, dandelion greens, mustard greens, spinach, turnip greens, wing beans · dairy foods such as buttermilk, mozzarella cheese, raw (non-pasteurized) milk, whey, yoghurt · goat’s milk · soft bones of wild salmon, sardines, tuna, and anchovies are good sources of calcium that is easily absorbed by the body.

Joint pain causes include deficiency of copper; among the earliest symptoms are osteoporosis, osteopenia (lower bone mineral density than normal, but not as low as for osteoporosis) and joint pain or swelling (eg. finger joint pain, shoulder joint pain, collar bone pain, pelvic bone pain, etc).

Other symptoms that may indicate deficiency of Copper :
	retarded growth or abnormalities in bone development in infants and young children
	anemia that is characterized by lack of improvement with iron therapy alone
	loss of skin or hair color
	impaired immune function that may lead to frequent infections
	impaired nerve function that may lead to taste insensitivity and lack of physical coordination
	inelastic blood vessels that rupture easily
	elevated LDL (bad) cholesterol and lower HDL (good) cholesterol levels
	irregular heart beat
	breathing difficulties
	skin sores
	hypothyroidism
	Menkes disease that occurs mostly in male infants, characterized by sparse greyish or colorless twisted hair, and floppy muscle tone

Mineral / vitamin for joint pain prevention :

Foods high in copper include · cashew nuts · dried beans like soybeans, adzuki beans, garbanzo beans (chickpeas), lentils, lima, navy beans · dried spirulina · crimini mushrooms · shiitake mushrooms · sesame seeds.
