8. Joint Pain and Swelling

Rarely, valley fever may move beyond the lungs, into other structures and tissues. This is the most dangerous form of valley fever and has the worst symptoms. As the infection spreads to the joints, significant swelling and pain can inhibit mobility. The knees and ankles are the most common sites of these issues, but they may affect any joint.
