About Stiffness (the broader symptom)

This summary describes Stiffness, the broader symptom. Superficial Stiffness is a more specific topic.

MedlinePlus discusses joint stiffness on its joint pain page, which lists stiffness in a joint as an alternate name. Joint pain can affect one or more joints and may be linked to arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Signs of joint inflammation listed there include swelling, warmth, tenderness, redness, and pain with movement.

When to seek care

MedlinePlus says to contact a provider if joint pain lasts more than several days, or if you have fever that is not associated with flu symptoms, unintended weight loss, or severe unexplained joint pain and swelling.
