10 Vasculitis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Joint Pain
Vasculitis can affect almost any part of the human body, including the joints. In cases when the small blood vessels of the joints are affected, joint pain will occur. Swelling of the affected joint is also common, which increases, even more, the discomfort and pain experienced.
Joint pain is common in cases of Henoch-Schonlein purpura, Buerger’s disease, Cryoglobulinemia or Polyarteritis nodosa. Joint pain does not occur alone, as other symptoms develop as well, always depending on the type of vasculitis and organs or body parts affected. Joint pain can either develop in the early stages of the disease, as well as, at the end stages.
