In the last few months, I've become very conscious of my knees as one or other of them aches, my right hip is often stiff if I've been driving for a long time or sit down in certain chairs and I haven't run for months because of my left ankle.
Is this normal? I feel too young! I have no underlying health conditions, am just over a healthy BMI & go to the gym a couple of times a week where I've had to modify what I was doing due to the ankle, knee & hip issues.

Age 66 . Thought it was the beginning of the end last year . Ached everywhere and exhausted. Still working in physically demanding job. Had blood tests at GP ... Lo and behold ... vitamin D was low. Back to normal now with no pain at all .

aged 41, BMI of 25 - would like to lose a couple of stones. One of my knees twinges a little from time to time - usually on stairs. Not enough to stop me from a weekly (slow) park run. ditto one ankle - not the same side. I get the very odd back spasm which wears off quickly. I have also started to get the odd bout of sleeplessness, which I assume is peri menopause.

I ache pretty much all over. However, I am overweight and work long hours in a very physical job so self inflicted really.
