Starfield – how to treat Joint Pain

When you are suffering from Joint Pain, any efforts to sneak about (by walking in a crouch, for example) consume O2. This is bad, because draining your O2 also can lead to damage in certain dangerous environments. You want to fix that problem as quickly as possible. To treat Joint Pain, use any medial supplies that treat the overall Sprain condition, or visit a medical professional.

Joint pain is a symptom of the Sprain condition. That condition most often results if you jump or fall from sufficiently high distance. It doesn’t happen every time, depending on how hearty you are.

To treat Sprain yourself check your First Aid supplies for relevant items. Options that treat that symptom include the various types of Immobilizer you might find or purchase.
