I can't even begin to tell you how much of a hypochondriac that I am. From what I can remember most about my childhood is something always being wrong with me. I used to think I was making these illnesses up in my head. But, now that I'm 18 I've been feeling the most pain I've ever felt in all my years. Starting in about December of '13 I started to experience really bad knee pains. I am a very athletic person as I like to swim, run/jog every morning, and do intense workouts such as p90x. So, what I did was shrug it aside because I just knew it was from that. Several weeks into the New Year I began experiencing really bad back pains as I was sleeping. So bad that I couldn't even move a muscle and whenever I did I screamed and moaned. When i would wake up in the mornings everything would be fine. No pain and I actually felt a lot better. After the back pains stopped then came the swollen fingers and sore, warm, and swollen elbows. By this time I stopped working out as much; figured I needed a break and to let my joints rest. This pain still continues to this very day and hour. I can barely move my elbows and my knuckles are always bruised like I had been fighting or something. I'm worried that I'll never get to be active because of this pain I'm experiencing. Can someone help me please?
