Hello there, i am 20 years of age and male. For the past 2 weeks my joints have suddenly started cracking, clicking , are painful and are stiff. I have no swelling and have had a blood test that showed no signs of inflammation and also a negative rheumatoid factor. The worst pain is pain that goes down my legs from knees to shins and all the pain and stiffness is chronic its always there.  A bit of context : Before all this i was weight training and very active but stopped for a bit due to a shoulder injury and this came on a few weeks after. I also have been feeling very tired and depressed because of this as i feel like i cant do the things i use to enjoy such as exercise. Does anyone have any idea of possible causes?
