My pain gets better at times but I will wake up in the middle of the night and have really bad pain in my knees, wrists, shoulders, and ankles. Is this normal? Why does it happen? Anything I can do to make it better? Thanks!

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

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?"

I have really bad arthritis in both of my shoulders every time the weather gets cold. It hurts really really bad and im only 25. What can I do so I don’t have to live the rest of my life like this. My x-rays show nothing.

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?

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?

I know that I should be on glucosamine for my joints(mainly my shoulders) and I think it may have the same cause as the pain in my ankles.

Sometimes when I walk a lot, run, or hike I get a dull pain in my left ankle, right below the end of the fibula(the bump on the outside of your ankle). Often times, it comes with a grinding feeling in the area.

Basically I know what it most likely is, and cannot afford professional treatment or even glucosamine tablets at the moment.(Anything less than -40 for a 1-month supply doesnt really work)

What I want to know is what I can do at home with a small budget to treat or prevent this?

(Was thinking ankle brace and/or arch support pads in shoes, but want other options, and opinions on these)

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 61 and have started feeling pain in my shoulders, knees, and hips associated with arthritis. Does liquid glucosamine-chondroitin-MSM act faster than the pill form of the named ingredients?

I’m considering taking Accutane for my acne and the thing I am most concerned about is the joint pains. I have no problem if when I stop the medication they will go away, but I had some people tell me that they now have bad shoulders or knees…um, can you please tell me your experience?

I’VE BEEN EXPERIENCING JOINT PAIN FOR ABOUT A WEEK NOW. IT’S IN PRETTY MUCH ALL OF MY JOINTS(shoulders, back, fingers, wrists, neck, knees, and hips) I’M ONLY 21. HAVE NO HISTORY OF ARTHRITIS. WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS?

I’ve been using the bench press for about a month now, and I’ve had great results. The problem is, about three days ago I developed joint pain in and around my shoulders. I don’t want to stop using the bench press because it’s the best piece of workout equipment I have and I’ve gotten fantastic results. Is there something I can do to stop this pain?

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?
