I'm a 16-year-old female and recently experiencing on-off pain in my knees and ankles, mainly my left. In the knee the pain feels almost as if fluid is leaking but I'm sure that's just my imagination, while my ankle simply feels weak and as if it will give out, though it doesn't. It isn't severe crippling pain, more of an ache.
The ache/pain does not considerably worsen with exercise but is mainly present in the cold (which to me suggested arthritis, but I'm only 16).
I do have the idea it might be a calcium deficiency as I don't get my required 3 serves of dairy (mainly due to a slight eating disorder), though I do take a multivitamin. Again, is this likely at 16?
Any other ideas?
