Hi, In the past 3 months or so I have been experiening sharp throbbing pain in my joints. Areas experiencing this pain are my knees, hips( not as often here as the other areas), shoulders, elbows and wrist. For the last 24 hours I have experienced this non stop in my left wrist(pulsating) and off and on in my left knee. What could this be? I thought I would see my doctor, however, I feel as if he will say nothing is wrong and that it is all in my head. It is not. Can you help me. Thanks Kimberly
