    Sorry to be dense...but is inflammation only associated with joints/muscles?
    Would puffing/bloating/skin tenderness and pain be considered inflammation?

    No, inflammation can involve a myriad of bodily areas and conditions. Some go so far as to say depression and mental health issues might be forms of inflammation.
    Some forms of puffing, bloating, and tenderness could be an inflammatory response.

    Just to add, if the skin tenderness is accompanied by heat or redness it's pretty likely to be inflammation.

    You can definitely have inflammation in the skin or inflammatory skin disorders. Acne and rosacea are inflammatory skin disorders for example. But, there are more auto-immune diseases that impact skin as well.

    I'm thinking more of a skin "soreness". It's a bruised feeling I get when I eat above a certain amount of sugar. I don't want to derail this thread with it but some people on here have seen my personal thread about it.

    Actually, some anti-inflammatory foods increase, not decrease, bruising, if you have actual bruises - I've personally observed this in people for fish oil supplementation for a person already eating seafood regularly. There is some mild evidence that it reduces muscle soreness.

    Nightshades are inflammatory to some. That's tomatoes, peopers, eggplant.
