Joint Pain

My 13 year old son complains of joint pain even though he doesn't play sports. What can cause joint pain in adolescents?

This is a hard question to answer since the description of the problem is incomplete. For example, if the joint pain is in the spine, spinal arthritis - ankylosing spondylitis might be a problem. If it is in the hands or feet, rheumatoid arthritis is a possibility. Sometimes, joint aches can come from excessive flexibility. If pains persist, going to a physician makes sense.
