A member asked:
What does it mean if your ankles, wrists, and knees are always aching?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possibilities: Is this joint pain? Is this soft tissue pain? Are the joints actually swollen? When do they hurt? What makes them worse and what makes them better? Always aching - do you mean all of these areas are at the same time all of the time? These are some of the things we need to know to better understand. A rheumatology evaluation in your setting would be beneficial to you.
