It could be. Arthritis really hurts. Could be so many other things too. Mine started getting really bad and I had an MRI and it is something called Chondromalacia Patallae in which the underside of the knee cap scrubs the bones of the knee joint. OMG! It hurts.. See it could be that. Or something with tendons, ligaments etc.. Those joint formulas really do work with some ppl but not all (like me). Also, you can try this old remedy-you take plain castor oil and rub it over the joints. Crazy as it sounds it really does work--does with me over some joints. Also, soak in really warm water or put warm packs on them. Do they swell? Put some Epsom Salts in the water when you soak.
But in any case.. you DO need to see a Dr to find out the cause of your pain so it can be treated correctly. These other things are just temporary fixes.. Please take care.. I know this Chondromalacia thing hurts!!! Especially when I get up and down from sitting, up and down stairs, bending them for any reason... If I walk alot.. they swell etc....
Good Luck!

Hey Lindy, poor you! It does not necessarily mean Arthritis. A blood test will verify it. How old are you? Let's look at what it could be.Are you exercising too much and too infrequently?Are you drinking enough water, your urine should be clear. Do you eat oily fish at least three times a week? Eat Salmon, Mackerel, Sardines. Try Oily supplements too. Start Yoga and stay young forever. My mum started 20 years ago she is now 80 and not on any medication. Go for a Shiatsu or Swedish massage. Good Luck x

I agree with MT K.
I have the same problem, and mine IS arthritis. My doctor diagnosed it when I was in the Air Force, many, many years ago.
Best to see a doctor.
