Symptom #9: Joint Instability

Joint instability can occur when the structures that stabilize the joint are weakened. Structures that help hold the joint together are ligaments, bones, and muscles. Since joints allow movement, they have to be stable, flexible, and strong.

Joint instability usually affects the neck, big shoulder, ankle, big toe, hip, knee, elbow, and thumb. Some causes of joint instability include injury, multidirectional instability, and overuse of the joint. Some symptoms of joint instability include pain, tenderness, repeated dislocation, and a feeling that the joint “gives out.” Depending on the location of the ganglion cyst, some locations can cause joint instability.
