What Causes Unbearable Pain In Joints In Whole Body?
I have been having unbearable throbbing pain in it seems like every joint in my body, it hurts to move. But it feels like I am bruised all over if I apply any pressure to any part of my body. I am only 33 years old and pretty healthy other than this. I noticed this pain about a month after my Father passed away 2 years ago, and it has been coming and going since, every time I have an episode the pain gets worse and lasts longer. What could it possibly be???

Hi
Thanks for posting your query
After going through your suffering you need blood test to rule out polyarthritis (mutiple joint pain) by having serum RA factor,Complete blood count,anti ccp antibody,ANA factor.
Most common type is Rheumatoid arthritis. This is a disease that is autoimmune in nature. It affects mainly synovial joints like the joints of hands, feet, although any joint can be affected by it. Just like various chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension and ischemic heart disease are not curable but controllable; rheumatoid arthritis is also controllable.
With proper medication you can lead an absolutely normal life without any pain or disability. The drugs usually given are methotrexate,HCQS,Sulfsalazine along with folic acid and pain killer.
It is not advisable to stop medication on your own as it only leads to accrual of joint damage and leads to joint deformities. So keep a positive attitude and take regular medication; also exercise regularly.
Please feel free to ask me if you have any other query. Do you have a family history of multiple joint pains?
My advice would be visit a rheumatologist/physician for evaluation and treatment.
Hope this information suffices.
Take care
