question: I am experiencing chronic pain in my knees and elbows. I have never had this before. It is almost debilitating when I bend down and try to right myself. My knees hurt so bad and I have a hard time standing up. The pain seems to be constant even though it doesn t keep me from walking around during the day when I m at work. It s near crippling when I have been asleep and need to use the bathroom. My legs almost don t work.
