It sounds like tendinitis or inflamed tendons which can be very painful and last for quite some time occasionally. I eventually had a few cortisone treatments injected into the affected area and after 3 it was gone and didn't come back , mean while the cortisone took care of the pain. You man consider this option. Your symptoms sound very similar to mine.

You would have to be more specific to describe exactly where the pain is in your arm.  Here are some general signs and symptoms of tendinitis that may be near the joint that is aggravated by movement:\n\nPain \nTenderness \nMild swelling, in some cases \n\nWith this condition, the pain is usually worse during and after activity, and the tendon and joint area can become stiffer the following day.  \n\nYou should seek the guidance of an athletic or physical therapist if the condition persists.

I went to an orthopedic doctor when I was 22 years old (when my knees really starting hurting bad).  He told me that "women your age tend to lose a little cartilage and are sensitive to it!"  I was so mad, I felt belittled.  I have lived with it ever since.  Ten years later, my knees give out once in a while and I wear a knee brace a lot of the time.  I take glucosamine with chondroiton and MSM to help rebuild my cartilage.  I believe I have arthritis pretty bad (my hands are extremely stiff right now and it is getting harder to type).  That could be your problem, or it could be many other things -- I don't even know the extent of my problem, yet.  I start a new job with complete insurance in June and I will go to the doctor about my knees just as soon as my insurance kicks in.  So, I suggest doing a search on the internet about knee pain, here are a few sites:\n\nhttp://orthopedics.about.com/cs/kneeinjuries/a/kneepain.htm\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003187.htm\nhttp://familydoctor.org/542.xml\n\nIt would also depend on whether or not you play sports, injured yourself, what your age is, and a few other factors.  Good luck and try that glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM.

Try mssaging the hip area with dragon balm or tiger balm.\nIt is POSSIBLE that you have inflammation in the joint, arthritis, a muscle or ligament tear, sciatica caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve or any one of many other problems - IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DIAGNOSE REMOTELY.\n\nDo you know a good osteopath or chiropractor?\n\nThey will assess your injury, most likely massage your lumbar area - including gluts and piriformis - and then adjust you (crack). There is a high success rate with this kind of thing. Numbness usually indicates that there is pressure on a nerve, shooting pains too. Sounds a LOT like sciatica.\n\nI wonder what you did that brought this on?\nSome advice:\nDon't carry your wallet in your back pocket anymore - sitting will be uneven. \nNo crossing the legs either.\nYou can try lying down on the ground - on your back, with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.\nLean sideways and slide a rolled up towel (1-1/2 inches diameter) under you lower back and lie straight again. Slowly lower your knees to the floor so that you basically have a bump under your hips. If this hurts the towel is too thick or you are in too much muscle spasm for this gentle stretch to help.\nIf it doen't hurt, just feel into the stretch - allow the muscles in the lower back to relax. You can stay here for 3-4minutes.\nLean sideways and pull the towel out.\n\n\nThe above will all help - I urge you to see a professional - you don't have to live with this pain.

i am not quite sure what "falaktuation" is, but it sounds pretty painful.\n\nYes, the treatment of HCV can affect your joints.  Specifically, the interferon that you're given can cause arthralgias (pain in the joints) and myalgias (pain in the muscles) and generalized total-body aches.\n\nGood luck with the treatment

NO NO NO. Bursitis in NOT caused by back problems!!!  OMG that dr. is not giving you good info.  It is an inflammation of the Bursa sac that is in the joint.  It swells and then causes pressure and pain.  You can use ice and ibuprofen (if okay with dr.) or some other kind of NSAID.  You can also get injections into the joint that will take away the pain (they hurt a bit but are worth it if it helps). You may be sitting to much and aggravating the bursitis but you need more into about it.  Go to webmd and put in bursitis to learn more about it.  It is worth learning about.  Unfortunetly no one is too young to get arthritis.

Same thing happen to me it started to swell and caused me alot of pain in my left knee. I did permanent damage to it. I pulled the muscles and did a bunch of damage behind the knee cap. It hasn't been the same now, if I do anything to strenuous it flares up. I have to take vitamins now just for my knee, and yeah it sucks, but its not worth the pain. In other words your joint is stressed out.

You need to go to a  doctor who deals with joint . You could have arthirist or rheumisism. Don't wait to long as it will get worse . Good Luck

I have arthritis and take Glucosamine and Chondroiton.(Sorry, I'm not sure of the spelling and spell check was no help.)  You can buy it at any pharmacy.\n\nIt lubricates you joints and they so much better in just a few days!\n\nI hope you feel better soon!

Depends n your age...Get your hip checked... Sometimes knee pain is caused by a hip deterioration that puts extra strain on the knee.....

Given your age and your prior medical condition, I would definitely advice a proper physical with your physician prior to ANY form of physical exercise.\n\nThe pains you feel in your joints are likely due to overuse injuries and the ligament's being unaccustomed to work load.\n\nTry easing into the fitness program, and do lighter reps of each exercise components. Do them until tired. Do not force another rep if you are straining.\n\nAnother exercise good to do is the Deep Knee Bends. Do those different times of the day, and as usual, do until tired and not straining. This exercise will help to strengthen your ligaments and help your body get accustom to the physical activities.\n\nRemember to see your doctor and approach a competent personal trainer with experience in elderly fitness management for a customized fitness program suitable for your current level of fitness.

I suspect that you might need to see a Rheumatologist (arthritis Dr) as you might be experiencing the onset of arthritis.\nYou might also consider seeing a Neurologist (brain Dr) as you might even be experiencing the onset of Parkinson or MS.

The most common symptoms of RA in the foot are pain, swelling, and stiffness. Symptoms usually appear in several joints on both feet. You may feel pain in the joint or in the sole or ball of your foot. The joint may be warm and the way you walk may be affected. You may develop corns or bunions, and your toes can begin to curl and stiffen in positions called claw toe or hammer toe.\n\nIf your hindfoot (back of the foot) and ankle are affected, the bones may shift position in the joints. This can cause the long arch on the bottom of your foot to collapse (flatfoot), resulting in pain and difficulty walking.\n\nBecause RA affects your entire system, you may also feel feverish, tire easily, and lose your appetite. You may develop lumps around your joints, particularly by the elbow.
