Abstract
This leading universal symptom in rheumatology is particularly important for achieving further differentiation10, 14, 15. Joint pain is often described as such if a pathomorphological substrate cannot be objectified and no external signs of inflammation (i.e., no tenderness) can be found. When considered in terms of morphology and pathophysiology, arthralgia may have not only articular, but also periarticular (Figs. 71, 128c, CS 53), osseous (Chaps. 3.10–3.11, Fig. 54), vascular (CS 71), functional and psychosomatic (Chap. 3.5, CS 57, 59, 61), or metabolic (Fabry’s disease) origins.
