Abstract
Key Points Concerning red-flag signs and symptoms for joint pain include ill appearance, spiking fevers, pinpoint bony tenderness, nocturnal bone pain, unexplained bruising, and inability to bear weight.A red, warm, swollen, and tender joint may represent septic arthritis and is a medical emergency that should be evaluated as soon as possible.A joint effusion is never normal and warrants further evaluation.In the well-appearing patient with nonsignificant joint pain, it is usually fine to try conservative therapy first with strict precautions of returning if pain worsens or does not improve after 1 week of conservative therapy.
