Suggest Treatment For Severe Joint Pain
Question: I woke up at 1:52 AM on Monday with severe joint pain in multiple joints (Ankles, Knees, Wrists and Elbows). I am a 61 year old male in pretty good shape. I have had both knees replaced, the latest was December of 2011; I've never had an issues with the replaced knees. The pain is all but gone in my Ankles, Wrists and Elbows but the knees are still very sore.
There was nothing unusual done (physically speaking) on the day or days prior joint pain.
Any thoughts? Could being bit by a Black Widow Spider have caused this pain to multiple joints?
