I'm a 22 year old male who is generally exceptionally healthy, getting sick only a few days every couple years. I do however often have lower-back pain, frequent headaches (caused by neckaches), and occasionally, though infrequently, jaw pain. My mother has always had fragile joints since she was a young teenager so I'm guessing I got some of that.
I'm going to take some of your advice, specifically about my posture because I do spend a LOT of time in front of a computer. If this keeps getting worse at it's current rate though, I'm going to have to get it looked at by a doctor. Hopefully the doctor I go to will know what it is. It's a bit unsettling when doctor's are stumped. Thanks for the tips, everyone and good luck!View Thread
