10 Symptoms of Sarcoidosis
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Swollen Joints
Joints are commonly affected by sarcoidosis as well, leading to pain and swelling. The membranes that surround the joint will get inflamed, leading to excessive production of the synovial fluid which will be reflected as a swelling of the affected joint.
Joint pain and swelling can be chronic, occurring every now and then, followed by periods of remission. The pain may also be acute and sporadic. Any inflammation of the joint will lead to swelling and redness of the affected joint, accompanied by pain and even limited range of motion.
