It may also depend on the patient's age. Young individuals with polyarticular pain and swelling are mostly affected by rheumatic or autoimmune diseases, while elderly patients with generalized joint pain may be experiencing age-related degenerative changes. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment to prevent serious conditions that could affect their daily lives. Patients are also advised to engage in appropriate exercise to enhance their body's resistance.
