Joint pain: By all means, see a doctor. There are many medical illnesses that can cause your symptoms. Correct diagnosis is very important. Anti inflammatory pain meds can cause abdominal and kidney issues when taken too often and tylenol (acetaminophen) can cause liver issues. Narcotic pain meds are highly addictive and not recommend for long term use except in rare cases. Good luck!

Need Consultation: This needs to be correctly diagnosed. If your doctor does not know the answer, keep searching for another doctor that can correctly diagnose and design a treatment to solve this situation. Without a proper solution, this will get progressively worse as you get older.
