With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

It's mainly in my legs, but occasionally it occurs in my arms. The pain starts in my knees and hips and big toes joints and spreads the length of my limbs. When I was a kid these pains would happen about once a week and the pain would be excruciating. It doesn't happen nearly as frequently any more, but it still does happen. Most of the time I can take tylonal and it will go away, but sometimes it will linger for hours and has even woken me up in the middle of the night. It isn't normally triggered by anything in particular that I can pinpoint and no doctor can give me any explanation for it. My question is: has anyone ever experienced anything like this or heard of this? Can anyone give me some sort of insight into this?
