Joint stiffness is caused by inflammation in the synovium, the lining of the joint. The abnormal synovial lining is the cause of many types of arthritis. The only physical expression of synovial involvement may be joint pain, or there may be puffiness, redness, and warmth associated with the affected joint.

Other medical conditions can also cause joint stiffness, including bone diseases, cancer, joint trauma, or overuse of the joint.
