A joint is the place in the body where two bones connect. Joint pain, also called arthralgia, is a possible side effect of cancer and its treatment. Joint pain can occur in the hands, feet, knees, hips, shoulders, lower back, spine, and other joint areas. Joint pain can affect a person's quality of life and make other symptoms and side effects of cancer seem worse. It can even cause some people to stop treatment before it is finished. If you suffer from joint pain, see your healthcare team. Managing symptoms is an important part of cancer care and treatment.
