What Causes Stiffness In Joints When Wake Up?

I have been experiencing stiffness in my joints when I wake up. This includes my TMJ. I have gone to a dentist and he can no longer help me with that. It seems like I am getting worse. On top of that I have edema, swollen knees, hair loss, weight gain, and depression.

Hi,

Considering all your symptoms - there is a strong possibility of chronic kidney disease in your case. Joint stiffness is but a minor part in the process. I suggest you consult a physician for full investigation and treatment accordingly.

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