Fibromyalgia - Arthritis Message Board

Does anyone know the symptoms for this. About a month ago I woke up with very stiff joints in my left hand and it hasn't really gone away since then. Then two days ago I woke up with the same problem in my knees. I cannot even use the treadmill at gym anymore cause of the pain. When I work it feels as if my knee joints are going to collapse. They feel tender and weak. I am 29 years old and have never suffered any of these symptoms before. I am going through quite a bit of stress at the moment and have been suffering from panic attacks. I was wondering if this could be the cause of the stiffness and pain.

Thanks in advance!!!!

Leann,
There is a fibromyalgia board on this same site. You can find out all you need to know on this. Go down to the little search box at the bottom of the page where it says hop to. Scroll down to fibromyalgia.

Suggest you follow dialogue on some others about arthritis on this "board."

One is "Clancy," and can't remember or see the other name yet, but I replied to both.

sorry you're hurting.

It's not a fun thing to do.

But do not be frightened -- I believe you can be well!
