Varicose & spider veins, cracking joints, loss of weight

TheOrangeTale

Hi,

I have concerns about my health. Anytime i go to the doctors they tell me that there is nothing wrong with me. It really seems to me that what i am saying to them goes in through one ear & goes out through the other.

I am 23 years of age, three years ago i started to have problem with cracking joints. It cracks in my hands, elbows, neck, back, knees & feet any time i move or walk. It is very uncomfortable as everyone around me can hear it as it is loud as well. The first 2 years the cracking wasnt painful, but the third year i started feeling it & it became slightly painful. I've started eating more fish for bone health support, it hasnt helped me much though.
Also during the third year i started getting very, very painful cramps in my feet, legs and my hands. It gotten to the point that i had to quit my job as a waitress and a kitchen porter as i kept getting cramps in my hands and could not carry plates as it was very painful and i was scared that i would just end up letting the plates fall on the floor or spill the tea on customers.
I started taking tablets with calcium & magnesium as i heard they are good for bone & blood vessel health. The cramps have eased a little.
Another problem occured few months ago when i started to find little spider veins on my legs. I dont know if they are the start of vertical veins, but i do feel like my legs are very heavy & painful.

I have 2 dogs with whom i walk 3 times a day, so i am active, it is not that i stand or sit all day.

Another worry is that i cant seem to be able to gain any weight for the past 3 years. If i gained 2 kilos, which i lost anyway, than that is a lot.

I am 159meters tall & weight 44kg. I eat normally. My boyfriend says that i eat more than him & he is much much bigger than me. I dont understand it.

Is there any explanations for what is happening to my body? Is there any good cure for me?

I am really confused as i am only 23 but feel like anorexic 40 years old.

Thank you for any feed back. ***
