I have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis. My joints do not hurt at all but my muscles do. I ve told my doctor s this from day one but I don t really get an answer to this question. I was fine until I fell. I wasn t really hurt from the fall but two to three weeks later I woke up to pain from neck to my right thigh. The pain has never been below my knees. Sitting and sleeping are my biggest problems. My neck pops sometime but not often. I do not have swelling that I am aware of. Thanks,
