Help :dont Know What I Have!! Posted: 08-13-05 04:43am
Hey ppl !! Well im a 22 yr old male and
for the last yr or so I have been having
joint pains /stiffness in diff parts of my
body . It started out with my right knee
and then went on to my left knee .At this
point the doc said I had chondromalacia
patella which is a cartilage weakening
conditioning in the knees. Well but
gradually I noticed that other parts of my
body too started to feel stiff or give
pain at times. None of my joints however
have ever been red or swollen . I did a
basic rheumatoid arthritis test which came
negative. The second doc I went too said
it was nothing to worry and that while my
knee joints had chondromalacia I also had
some sort of nutritional deficiency which
explained the pain in other joints so he
prescribed a whole set of pills and also
asked me to do some basic exercises for
leg movements etc well I cant say I took
the pills or did my exercises in all
sincerity but for what iv done I dont feel
much better than I started off with . The
pain is not like a severe pain but more
like a constant light pain !! I also
checked out my uric acid level which
turned out to be 5.5 which isnt high enogh
for gout according to what iv read from
sites. So im really not sure what I have
, im hoping some1 has some cluee ??

There are so many different conditions
that could exhibit the symptoms that you
describe, that it is impossible to arrive
at a quick answer to your question.
Have you considered the possibility that
you might have bursitis?
