  • Joint stiffness or limited range of motion
  • Difficulty performing everyday activities like walking, standing, or carrying objects
  • A visible deformity or abnormality in a joint or limb
  • Pain or discomfort that wakes you up at night
  • A feeling of instability or weakness in a joint or limb
  • Tingling or numbness in a limb or extremity
