Question 1

how come my joints hurt after working out?

Accepted Answer

Multiple reasons: Lactic acid a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism will cause post-exercise inflammation.  Hydration and stretching will minimize this effect.  Medical attention is needed if pain is severe and chronic.   Many other medical conditions need to be ruled out  including inflammatory vs. Non-inflammatory types of arthritis.  A good neurological workup is also helpful.

Question 2

all of my joints hurt when its damp or cold?

Accepted Answer

Common association: Many people complain of this.  Not particularly indicative of any disease.  The fact that it bothers all of your joints is reassuring as most systemic and serious illnesses affect certain joints and not others.  Many serious diseases also have a morning predominance.

Question 3

what are some possible reasons that my joints hurt after i exercise?

Accepted Answer

When? How often?: I experience some joint pain occasionally after mountain biking, but not routinely (except for falls-when it is routine!). If you experience pain  during exercise, then your body is telling you not do do what you are doing.  If you have joint pain afterwards regularly, then the activity is not for you. If this happens, you are hurting yourself and need medical evaluation!

Question 4

woke up and my left side all my joints hurt really bad what causes that?

Accepted Answer

May not be arthritis: Hard  to say since  it is one  sided. Do you sleep on your left  side? Need  to be  clear  it is really the joints. Need  to note  if they are  swollen. Different things  could cause  left  sided  pain. It could  be  mechanical, muscular, soft  tissue  rheumatism. Need  to know  how long this  morning pain last?

Question 5

hello! can stress make your joints hurt?

Accepted Answer

Joint pains: Stress can cause a lot of different symptoms but a direct cause of joint pains is doubtful. Your joint pains may be related to osteo or rheumatoid arthritis , if this is the case then stress can affect the immune system and have a causal relationship to the pains. This would be remote chance, however.  If most joints are involved then one would suspect RA over OA. Lab tests should be helpful.

Question 6

my joints hurt, click and pop. how do i get this to stop?

Accepted Answer

Consult Rheumatology: Clicking and popping of joints can occur normally and does not necessarily mean something is wrong.  The fact that you also have pain with the clicking and popping is more of a concern.  Consulting with a rheumatologist is a good place to start to see if there are concerning issues with your joints.

Question 7

alot of my joints hurt time to time the stop and come back  every day im in pain from it what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Arthritis : Is a possibility. I would suggest a rheumatology consultation.

Question 8

why does all my joints hurt from my toes to my shoulders?

Accepted Answer

You may have : A rheumatological disorder and should see a rheumatologist for work up.

Question 9

why do joints hurt when the weather changes?

Accepted Answer

Pressure changes: Inflamed joints are more sensitive to subtle changes in atmospheric pressure. Changing weather is associated with such changes. Almost any underlying joint inflammation/arthritis can act this way.

Question 10

why do my joints hurt when it's cold? any treatment?

Accepted Answer

Normal: It's normal for people to have joint pains in the cold. It's usually temporary and with continued activity the pain goes away. It's due to spasms of the vessels on the cartilage surface. 
Regular exercise, stretching will both help this out.
