similarly some kind of trauma and surgery can also cause arthritis.

Pain in joint is called arthralgia. the pain of arthritis feels like dulls pain with decreased intensity, usually around the single affected joint but can radiate to or from that joint to surrounding areas.  You can say this pain is due to arthritis by observing that this arthritis pain is just after you had gone through long hectic work , and it only is localized to that affected joint.
