What Causes Stiffness In Joints And Muscles?

I am continuously feeling like I need to pop my joints, my lower back muscles also have been pretty tight for the past few days. I just feel like stiff everywhere, and my knees, wrists, ankles, toes, shoulders, and especially my neck feel like they need to be popped.

Hi,

Thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.

As you getting stiffness in joints and muscles, this could be degenerative changes happening. Due to lack of exercises and other physical activities the body becomes stiff and weak. Undergoing a physical therapy will be recommended. As with proper stretching techniques and strengthening program such pain and aches can be removed and body can be made flexible as well.

In my clinical practice, similar complaints are treated with physical therapy and later stages majority of them have outstanding results.
