What Causes Chronic Pain In Knees And Elbows?

I am experiencing chronic pain in my knees and elbows. I have never had this before. It is almost debilitating when I bend down and try to right myself. My knees hurt so bad and I have a hard time standing up. The pain seems to be constant even though it doesn t keep me from walking around during the day when I m at work. It s near crippling when I have been asleep and need to use the bathroom. My legs almost don t work.

Hello!
I read your question and understand your concern.
In my opinion your symptoms may be caused by a rhematological problem.
I would like to know your age. The morning freezing is a common feature in many rhematological disorders like rheumatoid arthritis.
I would recommend you to consult with a rhematologist , have a good physical examination, a full blood work, blood tests for inflammation like fibrinogen, PCR, sedimentation and rheumatoid factor. Further tests may be necessary to establish the cause of your symptoms and the appropriate treatment.
Hope to have been of help!
Greetings!
