Try fish oil or glucosamine tablets. They ease the joints, or so they claim !
yes i do, and ive no idea what causes it.even bought a tempa mattress still hasnt eased it ,old age i reckon.
Have you asked you GP for an Xray on the affected joints or a bone or bone density scan ..if not go back to the doctor and insist on further tests.
You don't say your age but when I was around fifty I pitched up with the same symptoms as you describe although I also had severe pain in the hips. This turned out to be rheumatoid arthritis which has burnt itself out and left me with osteoarthritis. Do get some further tests and hope you soon feel better.
