Painful knee joints?My knees hurt so bad it is ridiculous.
I can't get up off the floor. I can barely walk.
Some say its becasue of our weather but they've never done this before.
I am only 22 years old and I feel like crap.
I can't get out of the tub.
What could it be??

I see you reposted in the correct place.
Seriously though,
You should see a doctor about this. You could have fluid buildup in your knees. Are they swollen or red?
I started having severe pain in my hand last year around this time. Never had it before, and I am 22 also...so now every time it gets cold, I have that pain and have to wear a brace.
A doctor will give probably give you some anti-inflammatory meds and pain killers. You may want to try a heating pad or wrapping it.

My knees started hurting when I was 19, to the same point where it was just difficult to walk (still is occasionally - I'm 24 now). After a couple of doctor visits the general consensus was patellafemerol syndrome (which is just a big word for my knee caps didn't track properly).
I don't know if this what you have, but I do know it's very common in teenage girls and younger women like us, especially if you're a little "knock-kneed."
Anyway, get it checked out, if it is mistracking knee caps I can offer you this hope by saying that usually little easy things like careful shoe shopping and learning some simple leg strengthening exercises lead to lots of pain relief.
good luck, I know how you feel.
Hi,I did the following:
Joint resurfacing for bunions and painful arthritis of the big toe joint.
Painful arthritis of the big toe joint will cause stiffness and thickening of the joint. In the past the surgical options for this condition have been limited with fusion of the joint being the most commonly performed operation. But no one wants a stiff big toe anymore than they want a stiff hip joint or knee. Joint resurfacing has changed everything in the management of arthritis of the big toe joint. Now instead of the joint being simply cut out leaving a short floppy toe or fused with screws, a synthetic cartilage replacement can be placed over the joint surface restoring a pain free range of motion to the joint.
