Those who suffer from migrating joint pain feel pain in multiple joints that either progress from joint to joint, or afflict multiple joints at the same time at a time. Doctors define the types of pain as acute and sub acute and attribute this condition to many different types of illnesses or potential injury. In the case of rheumatoid arthritis, those who suffer with this chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease.can feel migrating joint pain in many different areas of the body. In the beginning, the painful joints may only feel stiff intermittently. For example, pain will occur when the individual gets up in the morning. This can lead to more constant pain, especially in the joints of the wrists, knees, elbows, and ankles. In the case of systemic lupus erythematous, which is an inflammatory infectious tissue disease that bears some similarities to rheumatoid arthritis, migrating joint pain is very common. Other causes of migrating joint pain can be metabolic. Metabolic disorders can result in monarticular (single-joint) and polyarticular (multi-joint) pain. Furthermore, viruses from the common cold and influenza to chicken pox, German measles, and herpes simplex can cause migrating joint pain. Inflammation caused by Crohn’s disease can lead to several different types of arthritis affecting any area of the body. Joints are typically painful when the digestive system is not working properly. Discomfort resulting from migratory arthritis can last for days or even weeks and tends to lessen with the reduction of overactive autoimmune function.
