How it's used

Examples
The weather has turned cold recently, and my joint pain is acting up again.
You have joint pain all the time, why don't you go see a doctor for a checkup?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 骨痛, which is a broader term for bone pain. 關節痛 specifically targets the connection points between bones, such as knees, elbows, or knuckles.
