Major joint pain--question...

[Cassie415]

Hey, I have had the worst joint pain this last week. Like it is in my finger joints, my knees, my elbows, my toes...
I have never had anything like this before and I am only nineteen years old. It literally feels like I have arthritis lol. I have no pain in my muscles or anywhere else...only my joints. I've noticed that I mostly feel it when I wake up in the morning or am coming off of oc. Has this happened to you guys? Do you think it is just because of the oc? Or something more serious? ( I am stopping oc tomorrow just fyi)

if you stop the oc and stays it is still the same in a week plz go see a doctor to get it checked out .

Hi Cassie.. Friday is the day.. I was so pleased for you when I read this.. The joint pain is normal.. when I first started dabbling in pharmaceuticals.. then would stop my ankles would crunch up and I would just roll them constantly as if they needed to pop.. the best thing for this is movement.. so as the medic said it is normal.. You will be in discomfort for a few dys.. try sit outside as much as possible and soak up the sun.. the heat is a tremendous help.. and walk as much as you can for the anxiety and restless feeling... Know I'm wishing you well and sending you strength.. You are way to young and intelligent to let a pill rule your future.. You have wonderful dreams and to accomplish them you have to get this behind you.. be kind to yourself and post often as many will understand.. wishing you well.. lesa
