Yes, I am 46 years old and broke my ankle about ten years ago, so I have plates and screws on my right side. I ve notice lately that my ankle and both knees are constantly aching. I am also dealing with horrible headaches everyday and I m not sure what s causing them. I m just wondering if this is an early onset of arthritis or if there is enough concern to go to the doctor. I ve been having extreme headaches for the past three months though and aspirin and aleve do no seem to help.
