Joint Pains
Hi, I‘m a F (27). First of all I’m sorry because I’m not sure if this is the right subreddit to ask but I‘m just trying my luck going around asking different subreddits for advices/opinions.
I have been having painful joint pains that lasted until the next day, especially on my fingers/hands and knees. Some days my fingers and wrists hurts so bad I couldn’t even hold my phone or use a chopstick. There are nights (often nights) my knee joints and my whole foot just ache unbearably; I lost sleep time over this. I can only describe the pain as having heavy weights tied to each of your hand and leg, then the throbbing is a bonus. I also noticed sometimes after the pain started to slowly go away, my legs/hands goes numb—like I can’t feel them at all.
I noticed weather conditions and temperatures don’t really matter. I lived in a hot, humid country—everything aches. When I went on a vacation during winter with heavy snowfall—everything still ache. Being in a room that is cold or warm doesn’t matter either, if my joint decided to ache, it will.
I’m afraid of what all of this is about—autoimmune, mobility issues, nothing or everything. I do suffer from chronic migraines and is under Neurology and is on medication but I am not sure if these joint pains are related to it. I am at loss for now. What should I do? What is going on? :(
