leg pain

[buisness_101]

when my pain started i felt like an old man i'm 25 male and my hip joints and knee joints ached really bad for like almost two weeks and i thought from doin ceiling sanding on dry wall gave me a sliped disc and i thought it was sciatica and it sorta went away after two weeks then about a week later it came back again and now it's been like a month maybe more and now not only is it hips and knees i have sensation of aches all through my legs especially down by my shin area and anckle and my knee ache went from acheing when i bent it to aching when it wants and cracking once in awhile i don't no for sure but i think my shin area in some spots is sore but yeah my legs ache in different spots everyday lately hope it's scatica becuase i just had a full blood and urine test and everything was negative so i hope arthrtis or nerve but i don't no.... i'm sorta tired of readin the bone cancer symptom sheet because it sorta sounds like it but not really.....

Oh yes, MRIs are so expensive! Maybe a simple x-ray will be sufficient, though.

*Please* don't wait for it to get worse. Why risk a life-long battle with chronic pain when it could be something fixable if it's treated early? If you think it's expensive now, wait to you see the bills for a life-long condition! Please don't wait.

i'm tryin to get to a doctor actually it's just so hard to pay for the mri and test that need to be done to look at your bones i was just try'n to make sure it was not life threating...
but i no it has to be look at i was just waiting for it to get worse so maybe i could make it an emergency situation and then have the x-rays done or whatever.....thank you for your reply.....

Have you been to see your doctor? It sounds like you're self-diagnosing and only succeeding in scaring yourself. :)

If you did something to your back during the sanding, that pain probably changed the way you walk, stand, sit, etc. This, in turn, could cause stress on your hips, knees, ankles, etc. which means the pain "travels" from one joint to the next.

I would urge you to get to a doctor and get checked out. If you did indeed hurt your back, you don't want to let it go and just hope it gets better.
