Joint Health
Joint pain after 40: what is wear, and what is worth checking?
No. Age-related wear is one cause. Tendon overload, old injuries and simple deconditioning are others. A visit is useful when pain changes walking, sleep or work.
What often changes after 40
Recovery from a weekend game takes longer. Stairs feel louder. That does not automatically mean a replacement is next.
When to seek care
Night pain, swelling that stays, a joint that locks, or pain that is steadily narrowing your life are practical reasons to be examined.
Treatment overview
Strength, load management and medicines help many people. Injections and replacement are later tools, used when they match the joint and the person.
Questions
Should I stop exercise?+
Usually no. The type and dose of exercise may need to change. Complete rest often makes joints feel worse.
