Orthopaedics consult: It sounds like you need a visit to your physician for a physical exam to diagnose the cause of your pain. There are several causes of musculoskeletal pain and your past medical history, activities and any injuries are part of making the correct diagnosis. If you are in Palo Alto head to Stanford to get a physical exam. Good luck.
