pain in both knees and ankles Posted: 02-28-08 14:41pm


Ok, I am only 17 yrs old, & I am experiencing some very bad pain in both my knees & sumtime even in my ankles.......... I haven't went to the doctor about it, but my mom & brother(which is a nurse), said its more then likely arthiritis......... It dosn't bother me all the time, but mostly when its cold & mostly @ nite..... A lot of people in my family have it. Is it hereditary? & What are somethings I can do about it? Thanks in advance!!!!!!!

What type of arthritis is running in your family? When do you usually have the most intense pain in your joints (at night and after period of resting or in the mornings)?

I'm not sure what kind runs in my family, but it's most intense at night & when its cold or bad weather.

Are you experiencing morning stiffness lasting more than an hour? Do you feel extremely fatigue? Do you have pain in other joints, like small ones at your fingers?

Hi! I hope I can be of some assistance with this as I might just know what you are talking about. 1. Have you experienced any sudden "Growth-Spurts" or have gone through any sudden "Growth-Spurts". 2. The pain you experience at night, is it an intense "dull" penetrating pain. 3. If you were to run your hand up your leg, starting from half-way above your ankle, up to your knee, do you feel a slight "bump" below your knee? 4. Do you find it difficult/painfull to stand/walk for a long time, climb stairs or pick up heavy objects? Seraph
