Women who experience back and joint pain may believe they need imaging of the joints such as x-ray or MRI to investigate and diagnose their pain. In most women with back or joint pain this is not recommended as it does not help joint pain or back pain to improve faster. There can be disadvantages with unnecessary imaging as it can add extra costs, worry, and may add delays to getting the most appropriate treatment.

People who experience joint pains are twice as likely to die of a heart attack or stroke in later years than people who don’t have joint pain. That’s why joint pain can be a “wake up call” to improve both joint health and heart health. Most heart problems happen because risk factors such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure are not treated or are under-treated. Because these risk factors don’t cause any symptoms, people may not realise they have them until they have a heart attack or a stroke. So, if you have joint pain this can be a good reminder to have a health check. Talk to your doctor about your general health and ask for any recommended tests to check your heart health.
