Rockjoint is a disease in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It can be contracted from wolves, which can be found near the woods in the wilderness, and cave bears, which are usually near river banks, as well as foxes and skeevers. It can be contracted from traps. Even the wolf from the Conjure Familiar spell can give this disease. It is the most common disease to be contracted first in the game, as some wolves may attack the Dragonborn while on their first trip to Riverwood.
One can also contract Rockjoint from some other enemies due to a bug. However, the chances are very small, rare reports also say that a bandit can give Rockjoint.
