Seems like all the sudden I have joint pain &swelling ,?
First my right wrist,for no good reason swelled & became very painful.I used a wrist support brace, helped.Then after working down on one knee that swelled was sore and clicked when I walked a few weeks later , all I did was cross my left leg over my right knee,then a few minutes later It swelled so bad I could not bend it for a couple days. Used crutches took advil,allseemed getting better.Wait,limped on right foot two months because of right knee, now 2nd toe on right foot swollen,wont go down two months.Throughout toe misery,favored left foot.Now left ankle sore [only during use]stand or walk on left ankle intense "nerve pinching pain".Now after moderate use both right wrist &right knee back to moderate swelling and soreness,left ankle -screaming pain,My biggest question is the possibilty I have developed a debilitating chronic joint disease,or may bone cancer or ?Please truthfully tell me I have only slight age related [40′s}osteo or some temp strain I will be so happy If you can!

A doctor better examine you and you should do blood test before we can say anything. If tests where normal then it is likely that you have an overall body weakness. ALL your muscles are very weak and you should strengthen them. By strengthening your muscles the pressure would be on the on the muscle and not the joint! Another reasons could be of over weigth. You haven’t mentioned it thought but if you are over weighted then you should control your diet. Again, I don’t tell you to starve coz you don’t wannu burn muscles too.
In conclusion, I think you should consult and always be in touch with a ‘physiotherapist’ (of course after you saw a doctor I mentioned above) to show you the proper exercises so that you can strengthen your muscles.
