so, i am 23 years old, and weigh approx 250 lb.

basically my entire body hurts, all the time. but its not my muscles, its like my bones hurt. i recently found out that my t.m.j is caused by arthritis in my jaw and my jaw has a part deteriorated..

could this be going in with the rest of my body? i generally just ignore it but i'm in pain in every bone, twenty four seven. theres never an escape.

even lying down doesn't help because it starts to hurt my

hips and my back.

i cant walk bare footed because i have severe heel pain in my left heel.

i have a note to get an x-ray of my hip but have not due to the fact i'm absolutely terrified to find out i have cancer or something because it runs so high in my family.

    HI sorry to hear you are suffering a lot of pain! I really feel for you, please see your specialist/Doctor as soon as possible, I know its very scary but its the best way forward. I have just had my right hip replaced and still have pain, but before I got it done I was suffering a lot of pain. I am having my left hip replaced next month its only been 8 weeks since my right one however looking forward to a better life after I recover. Best wishes Cyndey

    hi there, i am so sorry to learn about your degree of pain, i am in pain also 24/7 . but thats just part of my life. i am also very fortunate that i have a very good and understanding Doctor he has helped me for years.

    I am now on the right medication Zomorph, Gaberpentine,zapain, Citilipran all these i take morning and night, this helps. but i also have to help myself by staying positive.

    I have undergone one major back operation, one total hip replacement, and two knee replacements and am now waiting for another hip replacements. please do not be afraid of having X rays they are great. and if they do find anything unterward.

    they can sort that out early and you will be fine.

    i am myself quite overweight, but i make myself go to the gym twice a week, to keep myself as fit as possible.

    i am so grateful to my surgeons and my doctors and ll the people who have helped me get to were i am today.

    but baring in mind i am now 70 years old and i am still alive and happy.

    take care and blessings
