Joint pain and stiffness

[Europilgrim]

I run twice a week and do 15 minutes gentle yoga every day although I can never touch my toes until about 10 minutes in. I thought I would become more flexible but I seem to be getting stiffer and stiffer! And all my joints hurt. What am I doing wrong? My dr says it's just normal ageing - really?! I am late forties. Thanks!

If you ferritin is low then ask for a Coeliac screen from your GP (it's just a blood test). I had a low ferritin / was v tired and they were my only two symptoms. Months of iron tablets didn't help but my ferritin levels were soon normal after a few months of a gluten free diet.

Thanks but I have already tested negative for coeliac disease.
