I Am Having Joint Pain, And Very Tense Muscles Coming

I am having joint pain, and very tense muscles coming from the areas. I have been previously diagnosed with degenerative discs, and that explains it in my back, been fighting that for twenty years. Now the inside of my right knee, indeed some muscle or tendon that stretches from my knee to my groin on my right leg is extremely tense and painful to the extent I cannot tie my shoe. I also have pain to the touch on the lower linside of both knees which is below. I assumed I pulled my groin. I do have a bullet exit wound just above the back of the left knee, bullet entered my upper thigh exited there, missed the femur. That happened in 2012. But, my shoulders, particlularly the joint and area down thru my shoulder blades is very sore to touch.
I thought I pulled my groin, explaining the one area, of course my spine is constantly going out, so the back areas covered by that, Initially only one shoulder hurt, an my Dr. Diagnosed bursitis, but now both hurt and I truly did not realize how bad it is until I touch it because of the back. As to the inside area of the knees this is fairly recent, and both knees. Very sore to touch. I am beginning to wonder if this is something systemic, because it seems unlikely that I got bursitis in one area, degenerative discs in another, a pulled groin in another, etc... The gunshot wound though well healed caused me to significantly lower my physical activity, as I have fallen numerous times and broken my wrist once due to the leg giving out unexpectedly. I have not been able to get a job since I got shot. I try to do physical activity but anything beyond walking is, painful and risky. I am on no medication as I had to give up my insurance I cannot afford Obame care. All this pain is always there. Only my back seems to respond to massage, and rest. I try to massage the stiffness out of my shoulders an leg an it just won't go away. Anyway sorry about writing a book. Thanks in advance for your help. Steve
