What Medical Conditions Cause Joint Pain?
Question: My 14 year old daughter has been complaining of her joints hurting, elbow, shoulders and fingers. Recently fingers on right hand appeared slightly swollen. She started lifting hand weights this may be the cause. She woke up this morning and stated that her arms were shaking and couldn't support her weight as she tried to push up out of bed. She also should be taking iron pills but does not taking them like she should. Concerned.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
