This.

AND yoga. And make sure you're eating the "good fats" -- salmon, avocado, etc.

And make sure you have good running shoes or shoes for whatever workouts you do.

Look into anti inflammatory foods. It really helped me.

rheumatologists don’t treat osteoarthritis

Watch you weight as an extra 20-30 pounds can put added stress on “aging” joints. Stretching and yoga are also very helpful. I also found swimming to be great for fitness without any stress on your joints.

Could be a mild Covid too, give a rest for a week or 2.

Strongly disagree. OP, some good advice in here. You don’t have to just roll over and accept this.

Could be a million things. Food sensitivity like gluten or dairy. Could be a need for a vitamin or mineral. Could be a medication you are taking for example antidepressants. You should go see a functional doctor and get a full blood panel. Just stick with it, you will figure out and don’t listen to people who say it’s normal.

Vit C and glucosamine supplements along with multivitamin and adequate protein intake (animal protein).

Quite a bit of my achy joint pain went away when I changed my diet to pescatarian-vegetarian and no soy and limited dairy (daily yogurt and cheese a few times a week). I am also alcohol free.

Is there anything I can do to help this?

I'm 50 and quite active - play tennis, do pilates, stationary bike, starting to lift weights more in the last few months.

But my joints have felt increasingly stiff and achy lately. I am SO stiff when I wake up in the mornings. It doesn't really correlate to what I did the day before, either. Is there anything I can do to help this a bit? Supplements, more stretching, anything?
