Bones, joints & muscles
Bones, joints, muscles, and tendons are what let you move, and they let you know when something is wrong. This section covers arthritis, back and neck pain, tendinitis, bursitis, sprains, fractures, and the overuse injuries that come with sport or work. You will find what causes each problem, how it is diagnosed, what actually helps (movement more often than rest), and how to avoid the next one. Most of this settles with time and the right care. See a doctor if you cannot bear weight, if a joint is hot and swollen, or if pain has not improved after a couple of weeks.
