Okay, am I just getting old or what? (I am 45.) For the last few weeks, my whole body has been aching - especially my hips and legs. I know I can take Motrin and feel better, but it's bugging me that this is happening. It's not so bad that it keeps me from functioning, although I do want to sit down more. At night it's bothersome because I can't get to sleep. I haven't changed anything that I have been doing lately so I have no clue. Has anyone ever experienced this? Any clues?

I'm not much help but what comes to mind that may be helpful is a chiropractic adjustment? Sorry I can't give any more advice  . I'll pray that you feel better.

Do you have any other symptoms, like fatigue or more sickness/infections than usual? Those symptoms with the aching might indicate fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. Is the pain just in your legs/hips? That might indicate a back problem. Did you fall or twist, move heavy furniture or anything else that might have aggravated your back? Motrin can be a good pain relief medication, but if the pain continues much longer, you certainly should consult a doctor.

Thanks Jody and Caroline. The achiness is mostly in my hips and legs and shoulders. My DH thinks it's from carrying our 1yo around a lot. He's not that big, but he's wiggly. He just likes to be held, so I hold him. I don't think that's it though. It just seemed to start all of a sudden. I haven't lifted anything heavy that I can think of.
We actually know of a chiropractor and I was thinking about seeing what she thought. I don't want to get into the whole "adjustments" thing though. We have a friend that seems to go have her back adjusted all the time. Maybe I am just getting old. My mom had arthritis - but I don't remember it being everywhere, only in her knees.
One thing that did occur to me was that I have become rather sedentary over the winter and maybe just getting out to take walks on a regular basis would help. I don't see how it could hurt anyway.

Interesting that you mention flax seed oil Jodie. I took it for a while, then switched to cod liver oil about 6 months ago. Maybe the flax seed oil was helping and I didn't even know it.
