Joint pain can be caused by injury affecting any of the ligaments or tendons surrounding the joint. Pain is also a feature of joint inflammation (arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis) and infection, and extremely rarely it can be a cause of cancer of the joint.
Joint pain is often a result of the damage that occurs through normal wear and tear. However, it can also be a sign of an infection or potentially debilitating RA.
Boswellia is also used in traditional medicine practiced in India, to treat different kinds of chronic inflammatory disease like osteoarthritis & tendonitis
