Best Ways to Cure Joint Pain in Starfield

First and foremost, the easiest way to cure joint pain is to use any “Immobilizer” you currently have in your inventory. You are likely to find Immobilizers out on your adventures if you are regularly looting enemies and their general surrounding locations. I’d recommend just always taking time to explore a location you visit and loot the important supplies. However, you can easily purchase an Immobilizer from stores and especially doctor labs.

Speaking of doctor labs, you could also visit a doctor such as in New Atlantis to get the Joint Pain cured and also any other effect by way of credits. I would say it is better to focus on using an Immobilizer to keep your cost down but this will be the best option if you have multiple effects to cure. Furthermore, a Panacea item can also be used to cure everything too if you happen to have one on you.

What Does the Blue Triangle Broken Bone Symbol Mean?

If you have Joint Pain you will notice it listed under a main status effect like a Sprain with a blue triangle symbol next to it. Any “Broken Bone” effect will make you take more damage from enemies so it is an effect that I recommend you treat as quickly as possible. Otherwise, you will ultimately be at high risk of elimination wherever you are.
