What Causes Stiffness In The Muscles And Joints?
Hi, I am an obsese woman 56 yrs old - have been having stiffness in muscles and joints - seems to get worse every day. Extreme fatigue even when I can get 8 hours of sleep. Have tried various over the counter meds but they upset my stomach for the achy stiffness. Also have back pain lower right side seems to be the worst. thanks,

First step in your treatment is to lose weight as much as you can if you are really obese as this will save you from medication...
