Joint pain: Joint pain together with morning stiffness in a young female may be an indication of an underlying inflammatory disease. If your symptoms have lasted more than 6 weeks; you have stiffness in the mornings for more than 30 minutes; and you have any pain or tenderness over the small joints of the hands or feet, I recommend being seen by a rheumatologist. I'm happy to do a consult if needed.
