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.

Hello.
No, you are not too young to have the symptoms you describe. I have severe osteoarthitis and my symptoms started in my late teens.
You should discuss all this your doctor asap.
I pray you find answers and relief soon.
Blessings,
-Dave

My joint pain started in my teens as well, not silly at all. I started having joints replaced at age 38, starting with my left hip. Please do follow up with your Dr. as they are really listening to us today. Back in the 80's they thought we were hypochondriacs. lol I have been since diagnosed with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid as well.

: I guess it depends but usually I think it's not bad the day of, it's possible I haven't noticed the correlation as often, but I think the day I wrote this post it was because I was having joint pains and I had gone on a short run the day before

You are very young for these kinds of symptoms. Did you have labwork done to rule out any other inflammatory or autoimmune process?

You ought to start looking into eating well and also look into supplements for antioxidants. Not fad supplements, but you might want to do an internet search, look at Dr. Axe's website. I think that's how his name is spelled. If you are prone to arthritis like that, you should really investigate what foods might be helpful or harmful.
