I lift at least 315 lbs. every time I workout on flat bench, either on the last set or next to the last set, and my elbows kill me sometimes. They especially ache when I have them locked in one position too long like when I’ve been sleeping and I wake up in the middle of the night and I’ve lifted the night before. Could it be a tear, a strain, arthritis, or what?

Does anyone else get pain in their hips during PMS and beginning of their period? I normally get lethargic and achy but this time I feel arthritic, which I’m not, in my hips lol

I’m 26 years old and haven’t lifted heavy for 3 years. I started lifting when I was 14 and at 20 began to do more cardio and lighter weights (reps of 12 to 14). between 20 and 23 I shuffled around from light to heavy with cardio. 23 to 26 I did more cardio and liftid light. Now it’s been 2 months since I started lifting heavy (8 to 10 reps) split routine and my joints have been aching. Sometimes it’s my elbows then my knees. Sometimes my lower and mid back start hurting and feel heavy at times. I feel like I’m too young to experience this but I have been lifting weights for a while and also worked alot of physically demanding jobs. I do sleep my 8 hours a night, take my supplements, and eat properly. Am I doing something wrong?

Can someone please tell me if this is a problem, or if I am being a hypochondriac?

For 4 years, I have been getting joint pain in my fingers, wrists, and elbows, which I can not explain.

I did not tell my doctor, but I just got some unrelated blood tests back, and my white blood cell count was flagged because it was elevated. I don’t know if it’s very high, though………it said that my monocytes were at 17, and that the normal range was 4-13.

I thought nothing of that, but then yesterday another doctor told me my lymph nodes were swollen.

If it matters, I also have double joints all over my body. I am only 28, but I am starting to worry that I’ve developed arthritis. Am I being crazy?

I’m 24 years old, got the flu just over 2 months ago and haven’t felt right since. My doctor said he tested my thyroid, white blood count, liver function, cholesterol and for RA and everything came back good. I’ve been taking adderall for ADHD for several years and I stopped feeling it’s effects after the flu.

My doctor said depression but the medication did nothing but keep me up all night. This is not depression.

My symptoms (that may or may not be related):
- Aching and stiffness (especially when I go to bed) in neck, back, and arms
- All day fatigue, tiredness, lethargy and sudden muscle weakness (mostly in arms)
- Occasional heartburn…even in back
- Urinary leakage (comes and goes, weeks at a time, when standing or sitting straight up)
- Chronic low back pain with occasional sharp stabbing pains on left side
- Almost daily lower stomach cramping first thing in morning (with or w/out diarrhea)
- Identical Beau’s lines in both big toes (growth consistent with time of flu)
HELP!
I live in Kansas…we barely have trees

Definitely not pregnant…after my daughter I had a laparoscopy and they found cysts, endometriosis, and Allen-Masters syndrome…doctor said I may not be able to have more.

And I do workout with weights…not as much as I did before I started feeling 80 years old…but usually at least 3 times a week…usually I can only last about 20 or 30 minutes before I’m in pain.

Doctors just try to put me on antidepressants and birth controls…I can’t do either because they make me crazy…really.

My biggest concern is how suddenly all my symptoms came…I got the flu…the fever went away but the aching and fatigue did not.

Well, not breaking down, but they hurt all the flippin’ time
my knees kill me in the cold, when i run and every time i bend them
i get shin splints every time i go running
my ankle also hurts when i go running
and my shoulders back and ribs hurt all the time because i work at safeway

Im only 15, and i don’t get much calcium (i can’t stand milk)

when i run, my ankle always twists and my knee clicks. then i get a sharp pain in my knee and ifind it hard to move. sometimes my hip clicks and a get the same thing, it happens about once or twice a day and it aches until i sit down for a while. my fingers also crack and i find it difficult to stretch out my fingers without them aching a lot.

does anyone know what this could be? :/

Hello all,

On wednesday at school we did some fitness training (ergos, weights…), and we did a station session where we spend 3 minutes at one going 100%, and then to the next one.
On Thursday I was ok however, but then Friday came and my muscles started to ache, aswell as my joints. It is NOT my legs, just my arms…

They are not hurting so much that I can barely pick things up, but still…

Please help, is this bad? sign of an injury?

The last few days by joints seem to be aching. Could lack of fluids be the cause of this???????????

As soon as I have a beer my joints and sometimes muscles start to ache. It’s even worse the next day.

it started happening last night…i did a bit of drinking..just got a tad faded..but when i was about to crash (3-4am) my joints were hurting really bad…when i was laying down it almost brought me to tears…but i woke up hours later..no pain…and now im starting to feel it again in my right elbow…any ideas,remedies, thoughts?

the past week and a half or so i’ve been waking up around the early hours of the morning with aching knees and some pain in my legs. It goes away if I change positions, but this has never happened to me before. Im 20, why would I all of a sudden have aching joints and such? What can I do about this…?

Im 17years old and have asthma
For the last 3/4 days i’ve been extremely tired, and getting aches and pains all over my body and i’ve been really cold as well,i am just wondering what could it be?
i got the swine flu injection though

Any idea what this could be?

I’m more curious about muscle products.. But I also have aching joints and if there is anything I can add to a bath to help relieve or relax the pain I am willing to try it.

Thank you.

I am a high school freshman trying cross-country for the first time. Out of all the practices we’ve had so far, my legs and joints always have this sore feeling when I run, even at the beginning, but I don’t know why. I can still run, but that achy feeling makes it difficult. What are some ways to prevent aching joints and have a good, strong run?

I’m 34 going on 35. Recently my joints and tendons started to ache. It’s not real severe pain but i’m wondering if it’s going to get much worse. I heard about Rhumatoid arthritis but i’m hoping i don’t end up with it. What can i do about this problem? Please help. Thanks.

My mom has been sick for over the last three days of a rash all over her body, aching joints(shoulder, knees, legs, wrists,etc), and fever. We took her to ER and they did Catscan and tested her for meningitis and all tests came back negative. My mom stated that she went over to her rental property to clean it out of which the renter had a dog she stated they she didn’t notice the rash until a day later. Her legs and knees aches so bad that it is hard for her to walk and the tip of her fingers were somewhat blue??? The doctors have no idea what’s going on so they want to recommend her to a vascular doctor. If anyone are familiar with these symptoms please help!

A few times a week a few of my joints hurt a bit. Typically my knees, occasionally elbow and ankles. It’s not an unbearable pain and I can walk fine. I’m a 19 year old male, normal size, decently active, with no family history of arthritis.

Does anyone know any causes for badly aching and stiff joints other than arthritis? I’ve been suffering with them for years in my knees, hips, back and fingers but the test came back negative. I really need to get this sorted soon as it’s causing me to take unhealthy amounts of painkillers just to get through the day, let alone do anything I need to like shopping or even going out full stop.
Ibuprofen and Paracetamol are barely taking the edge off and Glucosamine doesn’t do a thing.
If it helps, I’m 24.

I always want to stretch and I feel sore whenever I don’t, especially in my elbows and kneecaps. Is this a sign of a growth spurt, or is it something else?
