Different kinds: Some joint pains are due to over use or injury such as tendonitis. These problems can usually be treated with rest, ice, splinting, and or over the counter medications such as Acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Other types of inflammation are more serious and should be checked by a doctor if they last a long time or have swelling.
