Why does iron cause joint pain?
Why does iron cause joint pain? People with haemochromatosis absorb too much iron from their diet. The extra iron accumulates and is stored in the body’s organs e.g., liver, heart, pancreas, and/or joints. The iron stored in organs or joints can lead to ‘iron overload’ and cause significant damage.
