Also have some wrist and ankle soreness. i have played football for many years. i'm not sure if all these are related to each other.... PLEASE HELP!

It sounds like arthritis. See an orthopedic specialist for help.

It could be your cartilage wearing out. Please go see a doctor soon. Arthritis will cause there to be pain but not cracking. I think that you should add more calcium to your diet and try to take it easy. Football may have caused this but also may of heredity. Tylenol is the best and safest for pain relief. Take care and I hope you feel better soon!

my first advice is to see a doctor as they can tell you exactly what is wrong but if you dont think that it is taht serios then i would recomend supplements
glucosamine and collegen are good for joints there are many products out there in the bodybuilding scene as this is a popular injury

You have some good advice above. Seeing a doctor is the right thing at this point. You may want to consider seeing a chiropractor. They deal with more than just backs and necks.

There is also the chance that is is just muscles trying to tighten and knot up. A physical or massage therapist can help if that is the cause.

go to a doctor. don't delay. i waited too long before going about some shoulder pain I had, thinking the problem would just go away. Now the problem is a permanent one. good luck
