Ligaments ? : 25y fem. w. "stiff ankles/wrists & low back pain" + "pain all over" ruled out as to neurologic disorder should see Rheumatologist. If no distinct findings consider fibromyalgia. Etiologic factors might be obesity, childbirth, past mechanical low back/pelvic injuries or history of chronic illness with prolonged sedentariness & loss of soft tissue mass/tone.
