Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Knee And Ankle

Hi, I am a 21 year old female, and I have a few questions about some symptoms I have been experiencing. Since I was about 13 I ve experienced joint pain and noticed I couldn t be as active or flexible as I was before, and in the past 3 years its gone downhill fast, now it s to the point where I constantly ache and my bones feel hot and radiate heat and pain, and my knees and ankles swell at the end of the day, I can t handle walking somewhere like at the mall or something, I get so tired so fast and hurt and then my knees start to hurt to where I can t really bear my weight, my knees lock up, I am no longer able to run long distances, its even hard for me to just chase my dog around, I can t do yoga anymore, the poses hurt my joints, in the morning its so hard for me to get out of bed, all my bones feel hot, and burn, and ache, and sore, and weak, and no matter how much I sleep it doesn t help, I can barely move in the morning, I hurt everywhere, even my muscles feel as if I had just worked out, and it hurts throughout the day, I m fatigued an hour into my day, I can barely handle being at work, I don t have a social life because it hurts too much to be up and out. In the last 5 monts or so I ve noticed my lymphnodes are swollen, I ve had nasuea every day, I ve lost alot of wright without trying, I don t have an appetite, I get sick whenever I eat, I have had diarrhea for the last 3 months straight, especially after eating, in the worst of it I can barely handle driving to work without having to relieve myself. I get headaches when I eat too. I feel slow, and weak, I get extreme headaches a few hours into my day that last anywhere from 5-24 hours and I can barely concentrate sometimes, all I can think about is all the pain. I ve started bruising really easy, especially on my legs, and now I ve noticed really tiny purple/pink bruises (at least I think they are, they don t hurt, or itch or anything) My knees, fingers, neck and back are always popping/cracking and my joints lock up alot. At night its hard to sleep, and as much as it hurts to stand/walk/sit, it doesn t really help to lay down either, I hurt all night, I m restless and my legs are restless, and my head makes my thoughts races because of the pain. My skin hurts sometimes like if my shirts touches it, or if my bf hugs me, or touches me, it feels like bruises all over even though there s nothing there. It s made it hard for us to be intimate, no position don t hurt... I ve also noticed my vision has gotten much worse and now blurry and I pee more often. Does anyone know what s wrong with me??? Also, a side question is, Since the age of 18, I started being intimate, I ve only had 2 serious relationships, one of which I am in now... Since a young age I ve never felt raging hormones, like horny? I never really have a urge for sex, when I do, its not very strong. I ve had little to no feeling down there, now my fiance and I are serious, I love him and attracted to him, but I can never get horny, or wet or anything, I can barely feel anything he does, or if we are doing things together, a fee months into our relationship, I got pregnant, and I miscarried, my body didn t pass the baby on its own and ppp have me the abortion pill, and I had an allergic reaction and went to the how, ended up passing the baby there, after that we didn t do anything for months, before when we had sex it didn t hurt, but now when he is romancing me, it hurts for him to do it, or to be deep. I still don t get excited or anything, and it just sucks for both of us. The only other thing I ve had wrong with down there is I get frequent yeast infections. Please help, I can t afford to go to the doctor but if this is something I can fix please help!! I m just scared...

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I highly recommend that you go to an ER and get this properly evaluated because what you are experiencing sounds more so inflammatory disorder and cant be diagnosed or treated without proper medical evaluation. I understand you cant afford to go to a hospital, but the hospital can work with you and even reduce your payments significantly and set you up with proper clinics and outpatient resources to help you manage your condition properly. I hope you take my advise and seek proper medical attention.

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

Regards,
Dr. Samuel Parmar
