Many possibilities &: by definition: an arthritis which simply means joint (arthro), (inflammation); actually just pain in joint area on whatever basis, e.g. uric acid crystals in joints (gout) & what allopurinol is aimed at: blocking waste purine molecules into uric acid, however dose must be high enough to drive UA down to lower normal levels to be effective. There are many other bases, including autoimmune, for pain
