MWG, That is a mean one, I have battled with that because of my lifting for years....... It depends on the seriousness of your injuries. You might want to see a chiropractor if you haven't already. Stretching will help your muscles. As for your joints, are they dry or just sore?

Try this it works wonders for me... my shoulder and lower back pain...tastes very bitter but I could tell a big difference in my lower back pain like the next day....in my lower back I had a constant burning aching pain tried this and it no longer hurts as bad.....MSM 100% IN POWDER FORM ONLY I bought it at an herbal shoppe...cost about $7.00 MSM Methylsulfonylmethane is the name....look it up on the net....try it it just might make the pain more bearable with this....and it is not a medication
I take glucosamine chondroitin with MSM triple strength. I can't live without it my knees hurt so much. With it is much better. Also try Aleve (naproxen at Walmart) it reduce swelling and gets me through the really bad days.
I am currently trying the Triple Flex which seem to be helping but it is more noticeable how much it helps the less I am on my feet and running around. I know it takes time to fully kick in and work.
I do have some muscle relaxers but hate to take prescription meds. If it gets so severe, I will take one but I did not have those when the pain was really, really bad. At that time, it started in my left arm and I could not even put all of my clothes on. The pain comes and goes and hits in different places at different times.

Question....do you notice that the symptoms become more intense when you are stressed?
Triple Flex is okay, but you should consider getting what Old Pilot mentioned. I've tried both and the one he mentioned works better.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
I don't really notice the symptoms being worse when I am stressed as what I have been doing is trying to eliminate some stress. I know, that is laughable, right?
My arm (elbow to shoulder area) was absolutely horrible from November thru December and slowly got better but there is still some soreness (muscular). And in the last few weeks the pain is in my knees.
And the fatigue is just awful. I do not sleep thru the night and during the day, I will be trying to read, fill out applications, whatever it is, and I find myself falling asleep. At church, I will start to fall asleep or snore and my daughter goes crazy. I told her later that I do not realize I am doing this and it is not pleasant for me either.
Thanks for the advice on what has worked for some of you with regard to pain. I will look into it.

BND is absolutely correct!! The water is an awesome exercise/therapy for joints and muscles. MWG, she is also right about the YMCA and free memberships, they won't turn anyone away and it would also be good for you in other ways!!
