Joint Pain?

[Fuji]

So these last few days, the weather has been getting colder quite quickly! I live in western Canada, so if any of you know the weather patterns here, it can get to freezing from great tennis weather in less then 1-3 days. In response to this drastic change so quickly, my wrists, and specifically my knees have been super sore with jolting and sudden pains, that can ache for a few hours at a time! I am only 16, so I do not believe it to be arthritis in both my right wrist and both my knees but I've never experienced it until this year. I had it in the spring but it was not nearly as bad. :?

Does anyone else get this, and is there anyway to make it stop? It is literally keeping me up at night!

Thanks in advance and sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I would think this a health issue!

biofreeze. just rub that all over your knees before you go out and play and/or after. (like icyhot only better)

Get checked out by a sports medicine specialist.

You are assuming that the problem is related to the weather, and this is not necessarily the case.

It could be related to an overuse injury problem, and it's onset now with colder weather is just a coincidence. What you may need is some time off to recuperate.

Hmm thanks a lot for the input! I would have never thought it of even being an overuse injury. Although it would make sense as I enjoy recreational running along with tennis. I just thought it happened to be because of the change of seasons!

I will definitely have to find a sports medicine specialist! I will begin the search tomorrow!

If you live in an area with a change of seasons, your knee pain could be more related to the level of activity, rather than the weather itself.

For instance, in the spring, you increase the level of activity your joints have to take, and they become somewhat sore until acclimated.

But over the course of a long season of running and tennis, the joints can take a pounding, and finally "cry out" for a break.

I'm glad you are getting checked out. I hope you recover quickly.

Thank you very much! I called my local university today, (they specialize in sports medicine in my province) and they said to call again on Monday when the doctors are free. So Monday I shall be calling and setting up an appointment. Thanks a lot for the advice everyone!
