Arthralgia (from Greek arthro- 'joint' and -algos 'pain') literally means 'joint pain'.[1][2] Specifically, arthralgia is a symptom of injury, infection, illness (in particular arthritis), or an allergic reaction to medication.[3]
According to MeSH, the term arthralgia should only be used when the condition is non-inflammatory, and the term arthritis should be used when the condition is inflammatory.[4]
