Question

Does anybody know about infectious arthritis or migrating arthritis.   I'm having joint pain thats in one joint hurts for a little but then moves to another joint.  Along with it makes me have chest pain every now and then.

Hi there!

Infectious arthritis is one that occurs secondary to infection while migratory arthritis is one that occurs first in one joint, resolves and then occurs in another joint(s). With symptoms present almost simultaneously in multiple joints it is unlikely to be migratory arthritis. I would suggest getting this evaluated by a primary care physician or a rheumatologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
