							hi, I'm 20 and was active in sports. I have a history of mild osteoarthritis and is currently taking glucosamine and cod liver oil as supplements. however in the past week, i have been experiencing a pressure in my lower back around the seat area which gives me the feeling that my bones are constantly rubbing against each other when i move.there's also a faint clicking sound in the hips when i walk. when i lay down, it feels as if my spine is protruding from my back. The muscle around my right shoulder place is also tense which limits the turning movement in my neck. sometimes, there's also a slight tingling sensation in my fingers and toes which leaves me very worried because i'm about to start my degree    program in a week's time. recently after a brief jog with my dog, i can feel a sudden pain in my calf whenever i twist or point my ankle. The mucsle in my right hand feels weak too. I've been on Ibuprofen for 2 days and haven't been to the doctor's yet. can someone help me out? I'm very very distressed over this matter. Thank you so much for your attention and concern.
