    Very young to be having joint pains?

    I am almost 19 and having random joint pains pretty often, maybe a couple times a month. It will usually start with one joint such as my shoulder and within like half an hour all the joints of my arm will start aching. Sometimes I will just wake up and every joint in both of my legs will ache(hips, ankles and knees just throb). It isn't chronic, it will usually just last a day or half a day and topical pain cream usually does the trick but I just feel like I'm pretty young for this... I am not overweight, i exercise sometimes but not super often, nor does this regularly correlate with me exercising.
