Suggest Treatment For Joint Pain In The Lower Legs

I recently felt a mass just below my xiphoid process. I m a 53yr old African American male about 250lbs at 6 4-1/2 . I have joint pain in my lower legs especially. Not that this matters - (because it doesn t look like it s going to change my despite best efforts), but I m hugely stressed. First time fired from my job I had for 17.5yrs on 9/11/13 and I ve been homeless since March 2013. I ve finally file for government assistance - which I vow I wouldn t do. I m constantly fatigued. I have enlarged ankle fat, and my legs are painful from being on my feet ALL THE TIME (i hope) and I m unable to kneel with collasping. Well what s the bad news?
