A member asked:
I am 53 years old. i have pain in my left shoulder and both knees. i carry heavy objects at my job. is this arthritis or muscle pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be both! Or it: Could also be rotator cuff issues in the shoulder. See your pcp for some pain meds and an orhtopod for proper diagnoses of the knee and shoulder's problems. Steroid shots, pt, exercises etc can also help. Good luck.
