Why am I always having pain in all my joints?

By admin on January 10, 2011

I know you will probably say I should go see a doctor but I don’t have any insurance and I don’t have a job so even if I had to pay extra to go to a doctor I couldn’t because I don’t have a cent to my name. I have been having pains in all my joints since I was really little it wasn’t as bad about 10 years ago because I am currently 20 but then it started getting really bad. I will get cramps/pain in just totally different joints everyday like one day my knee will hurt and the next day my wrist will hurt and the next day my ankle will hurt and so on and so forth. I will start out with cramps/pain in one joint like my knee or something and then it will travel to my ankle and then my toes and basically all the joints in my foot. Sometimes if I get it in my elbow or my shoulder it will travel through to the other joints in my arm I will even get it in the joints in my fingers. I seriously get it everywhere. One time I got this really bad pain around my crotch area where the leg and the hip connect and it hurt like crazy. Almost all the time if the pain stays long enough whatever is in pain will be hurting so much that it will go numb and then I can barely walk or use my hand. I have felt my knee when it has been in pain it tends to feel like it’s creaking you know like their is arthritis there but some people tell me they don’t think it is. They say that I probably don’t have enough potassium and such. Most of the time even pain killers won’t help it never makes it go away. I don’t know what to do. I have checked my potassium levels and everything else when I had insurance with the doctor and he said everything was fine so I don’t know what could be wrong. Also it gets even worse in the winter time or when the weather changes or when it is about to rain. Please help me. Thanks in advance!

    you might have artheritis, and it might just be that you sleep weird, or even the physical activity you involve yourself in from dady to day. it could also be something that occured in the womb

    Actually, food can have a lot to do with join pain. When you have food sensitivity it will cause inflammation in your joints, which will cause pain. Many people have a food sensitivity and don’t even know it. It causes all sorts of symptoms: fatigue, weight gain, joint pain, gas, diarrhea. If you want to experiment to see if this may be your problem do this…. Common sensitivities are dairy, eggs, gluten (which is almost everything!). Start by taking one from your diet at a time. For example stop eating any type of dairy products. Dairy doesn’t take long to get out of your system so you could be seeing results as soon as 3 days. Gluten is the toughest one. (that’s my sensitivity). Anything with flour…bread, crackers, cereal, pasta..carbs for the big part. You’ll have to read labels. Mine gets worse with the weather too..

    Which reminds me..Fibromyalgia. Some doctors think it’s a made up disease and it’s all in your heard. It’s starting to get more attention. It cause similar syptoms along with moodiness and fatigue. It has a lot to do with your thyroid too. All in all, everything I mentioned are related. Try changing your diet first and see how you feel.

    In the meantime…you should really look into getting insurance. If you get severly injured, you could be in big trouble. Something to think abot.

    Good luck!

    Well, exercise and diet are very important to treating arthritis, as well as similar conditions. So, preforming some low impact exercise, such as water aerobics, swimming, or walking, would probably be a good idea. However, start out VERY slowly and listen to your body if the symptoms get worse.

    With that said, I know you said you don’t have insurance, but ultimately, you will need to speak with a professional about this and the sooner the better. However, make sure to speak with a specialist and not just going to the ER or something, as if you are paying for it out of pocket, you want to make sure you get useful advice.
