Hi. Lately my joints have been hurting really badly. Some examples are when i go
to sleep if i stay in one position for a while (like sitting in a chair without
being able to move much it starts to hurt so badly I wanna cry and as though if
I don't move my joints will pop off and explode) and just at random times. When
I go to sleep a lot of times my joints would hurt so badly I can't fall asleep
and I would always wake up in the middle of the night moaning tossing and
turning. Also, there would be sudden strikes of pain that would hurt so badly and goes away after minimum 15 minutes. Sometimes they turn swollen but when the day ends it gradually goes
away. Also even if I just walk. When I walk, run all of a sudden my ankle would
feel like it locks it hurts a lot but goes away after about 15 minutes of
rubbing and massaging my ankle. It would just happen at the most random times.
After swimming even after 30 minutes all of a sudden a strike of pain just jabs
at my ankles, knee, hip and all of a sudden it swells up immediatley reddish and
kind of warm and it hurts so bad I can't even swim so my friend has to help me
to the end of the lane. I haven't done any sports for almost two years now
because that was my doctors prescription. A lot of times I would just be sitting
and then a strike of pain just hits somewhere so badly but it just goes away
after 10 minutes. In the cold my joints are even worse. They turn kinda frigid
and red2Fpale and they hurt to even bend. Sometimes if write too long my arm
starts to shake and it hurts to even hold my pencil and hard to control my
handwriting as well. I've been to two doctors so far. One (my mom's friend) said
that I probably have arthritis (because she had it when she was small and she
said my symptoms similar to mine). Although another doctor said it was only
growing pains even though I haven't had my growth spurt but that was when only
when I had Patella Subluxation before everywhere started to hurt. So I don't
know whether I have arthritis or not and if so which type. Because one of my
friends has arthritis too and she had similar symptoms. I am only 13 but they
have been hurting ever since I was 11 or 12. It hurts in my toes ankles knees
hips fingers and at the side of my hand with the pinky bone if I'm holding
something for a long time it starts to feel super super sore and I can't explain
it it's kinda sourish like it hurts so badly I have to drop everything or else I
feel like it will explode.
