How Can Chronic Pain In The Joints Be Treated?

Hi. For the past 5 months I have had worsening joint pain. It started with my neck hurting, then my shoulders, and then an extreme pain in my wrist to my forearm. Now I just feel achy everywhere. My knees, my back, my hips, and my fingers. My fingers hurt especially when its cold. Yesterday I moved the wrong way and my hip hurt so bad from moving it, that I couldn t get up. I am 170 pounds, 5 7 1/2, and only 16 years old. I am healthy and I don t over exercise. I have lost weight, and am trying to live a healthy life. But this pain is worsening, to the point where typing this is very hard for me. I take medication, and I don t know if that does anything. Any suggestions?

Hello,

You may investigate for spondylosis and rheumatologist for further evaluation. Have you ever had a sickle cell problem? Or fever before this pain?


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
