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?

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?

My mom suffers from severe arthritis from her hands all the way to her elbows, she can’t sleep comfortably. Is there a way to relieve these symptoms so that she can get a good nights sleep??
Maybe a heated sleeve??

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?

I train in traditional jujitsu and over the last 6 mths I’ve been plagued by bad joint pain particularly in by elbows (tennis elbow). I’ve been taking supplements to help & manintain my joints (cod liver oil, MSM, glucosamine, chronditron(sic)) but even after 3 weeks rest (advised by a doctor) still find my left elbow, in particular, hurting. I put this down to not tapping out early enough (you’ve got to know how how much it hurts right?!).

Apart from obviously rest, has anyone any tips whereby I could maintain my suppleness and joint integrity without impacting on my training? Has anyone suffered recuring joint pain due to there training? How did you overcome it?

It’s really strange, but if I lay down for a while, awake or asleep I wake up with horrible pain in my knees, ankles, elbows, wrists and sometimes my hips. It happens when I sit for a while too. Does anyone know what this is?

Oh, the pain lasts for hours after I get up, but it starts from laying down.

I’m 7 weeks pregnant with my second child and my entire body just aches! Especially my joints, my hips, knees, shoulders, and elbows are throbbing. I remember from my reading during my last pregnancy that a hormone released during pregnancy can cause sensitivity in your joints, but I didn’t experience it until the end of the pregnancy. Does this sound normal? I’m also very tired, but have been contributing that to my 6 year old step-daughter’s early mornings since school has started, my 4 month old daughter’s new schedule, and me going back to school and work.

The main question is this: Is it normal to have aching joints this early in pregnancy?

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

My fingers, wrists, elbows, are hurting, and stiff.
My family doctor gives me prescription MOTRIN and Ive tried some other inflammatory med. Ive tried Tylenol arthritis, and well my friend gave me vicodiin. That works but when It wears off its just back to pain. Plus I dont want to be all popping pills
HELP!

I am 25 and started having knee pain about 5 years ago when I went into the army. Over the next five years other joints have started hurting. Like my elbows, shoulders, and hips. My doctor did a blood test and it said negative for arthritis. Could it still be? Or what else could it be? They hurt even when I am not working out.

I am regularly excersizing but have always had a problem with clicking elbows knees etc…

What is better; Cod Liver Oil or Glucosamine & MSM?

Any other suggestions?!

I was stung several times about 2 months ago, and developed minor joint pain about 2 weeks later. The pain has intensified over time, and has become more constant.

I would estimate that I was stung between 20 and 30 times. Most were in my calves and ancles.

Although several sources claim that yellow jackets do not leave a stinger, I know for a fact that these were yellow jackets, and I had six stingers left inside. Two in my right leg, and one each in my left leg, each arm, and left side.

The joint pain was in my knees, hips, shoulders, and elbows. My knees and hips are ok now, but my shoulders and especially my elbows have continued to worsen.

Any suggestions?
