What Causes Severe Sharp Pain In The Wrist And Knee?
My daughter is 38 and a letter carrier. Every day she has excruciating pain in various areas of her body. Today it s the wrists and slightly above. A couple of days ago it was her knee and I think ankles. It is debilitating to the point of not being able to use them at all. Tests are coming up empty. We re wondering why the swelling and pain might be moving around, and if detoxing or diet changes might be helpful. I m wondering if she produces an over abundance of something that can be flushed out somehow.

Hello,
It could be an early sign of arthritis.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
