For the past 5-6 weeks my joints have been very achey (fingers/hands, wrists, shoulders, upper vertebrae, tailbone area, knees, & ankles). Pretty much, everything hurts and I am feeling kind of fatigued, but have also been working a lot. IThe pain is not such excrutiating pain (probably about a 5-6 on a scale of 1-10 depending upon the day), but more off a dull pain or extreme discomfort. I often feel stiff, expecially after waking up or sitting for extended periods and having trouble getting comfortable. After sitting for extended periods it is hard for me to straighten my body right away. It seems to vary in intensity, but a lot of times my hands hurt most. I am a 26 year old slightly overweight (about 15-20 lbs) female who has never had any severe medical problems. Do you think that this is something that I should go to the doctor for, or are there any otc remedies that you know of? Have you ever experienced anything of the sort. Is there a "diagnosis?"

everytime i drink, once i start feeling drunk, i start getting joint pain. its mainly in my wrists, elbows and ankles. is this normal? what could it mean?
and i drink like every weekend

i run for a few minutes everyday (im working up slowly to 5k!) ….but today when I woke up my knees and ankles hurt really bad! I cant run at all today! what should I do? is that really bad? should I run tomorrow if it feals better?

I’ve recently been suffering from pain in my knees, wrists, and ankles. They hurt worse after cheerleading and they sometimes hurt so much i cry.

I have heel pain too, but I was diagnosed with sever’s disease. So it may not be related.

Any Ideas what’s wrong?
I have cheer practice 4 days a week so I’m in shape.
Also is there anything I can do to prevent damage and stregnthen my joints.
Should I wrap my wrists or wear a brace? I had a stress fracture in my wrist last year from tumbling.

I am in my mid-twenties and have stiff joints that are often accompanied by a dull ache. Mostly it’s in my hands, my hips, my ankles, my shoulders, my knees (pretty much all the joints, heh). I’m not sure what triggers the pain but I wake up every morning feeling sore, and my thumbs pop every time I move them (very annoying). Is there anything I can do to keep the pain and the popping to a minimum?

help! im 13 years old, and i have major joint pain in my ankles! what could this be? i really need help, ive missed out on 3 track meets and like 2 weeks of practice! im afraid they will kick me out! i really need relief fast!

I have bad joint pain in my legs,feet, ankles etc. when i put weight on them (especially when I jog/run). This is caused by a drug im on for accutane right now, don’t tell me to get off it please ;). Just looking for methods to ease the pain, also…is it bad to take ibprofen then workout if normally it would be painful?

or related degenerative forms of arthritis….Is it more of an isolated disease, or–is can it affect the body in a more general way as well?

I have pain in my hips, along my spine and w/ my ankles-it feels like it’s more joint and bone related; I dont know how much of this is exasperated by worry. Im 32 yrs. old. <pardon the lack of detail, just work w/ whats on your minds folks>
-my apreciation:)))

I’m having a hard time with my ankles more than my knees. They don’t bother me unless I’m on my feet too long, then I can hardly stand; and the pain is pretty bad. What are you doing for yourself? I was taking Celebrex, but stopped because it got too expensive; now I’m taking Aleve but I think my body has become immune too it. I can’t afford to go to a doctor and I have no health insurance. Any suggestions?

I do a lot of exercise every day, and I’ve noticed lately that I’m not able to do as much as usual due to pain in my knees and ankles mostly. I know its not from lack of stretching, as its not a muscular pain but more the actual joints. By the way, I’m only 22. I really need to keep up my fitness routine, so any advice would be great.
Oh and the type of exercise I’m doing is mostly cardio, but also some weights as well
