  Need more details, is it in all of your joints in general? Is it coming and going? Could be that you are having a Rheumatoid Arthritis. This is an autoimmune disease. Your body attacks your joints, the outcome is swallow joints and pain. After a few years without treatment there is deformation of the joints. My grandmother has is and it’s painful. So I recommend- go to specialist and next time don’t wait 2 months to do so...

  HI..I have osteoarthritis which means..is a clinical syndrome in which low-grade inflammation results in pain in the joints, caused by abnormal wearing of the cartilage that covers and acts as a cushion inside joints and destruction or decrease of synovial fluid that lubricates those joints. As the bone surfaces become less well protected by cartilage, the patient experiences pain upon weight bearing, including walking and standing. Due to decreased movement because of the pain, regional muscles may atrophy, and ligaments may become more lax.
  So my knees are completely bone on bone now and I have it in my neck, ankels, spine...but if you have RA or Rheumatoid Arthritis you have an autoimmune disease which causes the immune system to attack your joints. You must see a Rheumatologist for blood work to see what you have. They will also do x-rays. You have to have it checked out. Both are serious and painful but RA can cause additional problems.

  I suggest go see a Dr. in the meanwhile- you can take any anti inflammatory medication to ease the pain. Like Advil or Ibuprofen, but don’t take them and then postpone your visit to the Dr. for another 2 months.
