Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
I had gone through your question diligently and i can understand your concern
I have seen a number of patients with multiple joint pain in my clinic and most of them have improved significantly
Looking at your history and working environment this could be osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
I would like further information to help you better since how long you have this problem?
Any aggravating or relieving factor if you could identify any?
Is there any joint stiffness on rising in morning?
I would advise you for a battery of tests like blood for hemoglobin CBC ESR CRP( c reactive protein)
Blood urea, uric acid, R ( rhematoid) factor and an X ray knee and ankles
Meanwhile you can take anti inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen for pain relief
avoid prolonged sitting in one position
correct your posture and gait
reduce your weight if you are overweight
I hope you will find my response informative and helpful please feel free to ask for more clarification
I will happily answer you
Wishing you good health
