What Causes Chronic Shin/Knee Pain At A Young Age...etc..?
.. I've always kinda wondered this..... >.<
I've had chronic knee and shin pain since I was really young.. Like-- 6. =' /
I'm 14 now, and still get chronic-pains each day/night ... Except, over the years, the pain has spread.
When it first started [and it started at random, I wasn't injured or harmed in any way that would cause it to start], it was just my knee cap..
But now, its my knee cap, around my knee, and my entire lower-leg, pretty much.. But still mainly just the shin-bone and kneecap..
What could this possibly be caused by? ...
How do I prevent it?
... And how do I get immediate pain-relief??? ... Ibuprofens are starting to not work anymore [even though I've only been taking them --about 3 or 4 times a week-- for around 2 years o_O .... I shouldn't be immuned THAT fast.. Though I have become immuned to medicines, caffeine and other things really shortly after starting on them/using them/drinking them] ..
Thats another thing~ .... Why do I become immune to something after only taking it a few times? Medicines don't help me when I'm sick anymore.. I've only have about 3 or 4 Five-Day-Treatment doses of anti-biotics [UTI] and they started to not be as effective after the 2nd time taking them o_O;;; .............. Coffee hasn't made me energized [or any other form of caffeine] for years. [Ive been drinking coffee since I was 3]
Ohhhh, and all my life, I've gotten a TON of UTI's for unexplainable reasons. Do you know why I keep getting them? [Thankfully, I haven't had one for around 4 or 5 months.... --I think.. I've had some days where I have pain "down there" all day as if I had a UTI, but it would fade within a day or 2.. [
I didn't mean to make this so long, but I figured I might as well get my answers for my questions/issues now, instead of waiting long periods of time to re-post another question, since it doesnt get answered that way.. >.>
Please help me out with all my concerns.. MAINLY, I wanna know why I've had this severe shin/knee pain for about 8 years... Since a young aaaggggee.....
BTW~ .. When I was about 8 ... I was in so much pain with my knees, that I couldn't even get off of the floor.. I was sitting there, legs spread out, leaning against my couch crying cuz I couldn't move.... o.o;

1. Chronic?? why not see a doctor early?2. I can only imagine you live in a third world country or that you are an orphan.
surely if you have a mum and dad they would not want to see you in so much pain?
a
Well all i can suggest is that you contact your local red cross and ask for help
I hope you get the help you need
3. sounds like your body is addicted to caffien. You say youve been drinking coffee since you were 3 right? A young person's body doesnt need that much caffien when its growing at such a fast pace. The pain you have in your legs could be a combination of "growing pains" and all the meds. youre dumping in your body. Youre only 14 so take a chill pill...(not literally).. Drink some darn water and sit down somewhere.
