For the past 2 years, with it getting worse the last 6 months, I have pretty bad pain when walking, with stiffness and swelling in my knees, hips and ankles. My fingers are also stiff and achy and I also have pain in my elbows. Walking, bending is getting worse. And climbing and coming down stairs is very difficult. Although some days seem worse than others. Also, my toes seem to be deforming and I have pain in them as well. What could be wrong with me?

I was walking down the front steps(dreaming), I slipped and hit the floor with my back. (thankfully, I didn’t hit the steps)

My right arm took most of the impact. The wrist hurts a little bit, but thats not a big thing, it will go away. BUT the back of my right elbow looks like it has a large tennis ball attached to it. and it hurts bad.

I am not able to stretch my arm more than 150Degrees (people can, upto 180 degrees) or below 40 degrees. My right palm cant touch the right shoulder. Every time I move it closer to the shoulder, it gives me a terrible streak of pain from the tip of my fingers to the neck. Can’t write or type properly, how do you get rid of the pain and swelling?

I can pick up things but not more than 3 books.

(First aid: Deep Heat & Elmetacin Spray Solutions)
