joint pains Options

[Smarmosaur]

lately, my joints have been hurting so freakin bad when I go to bed. specifically my hips, ankles, wrists, knuckles, elbows, and shoulders. they're fine when I'm awake (except for my right hip).
I thought it was from working out more than usual, so I stopped completely. now I can't get back into the habit. but anyways. It's been over two weeks since I've done any sort of major activity, so I'm thinking that's not the reason for the pain.
the pain is so bad that the only time I sleep is when I'm absolutely exhausted. I typically go to bed around 11 or 12 (I don't sleep much), and I lie awake for hours, sometimes I don't even sleep at all, because of it.
any opinions/suggestions on what to do? I already told mom about it but she didn't seem to care, and I can't take any sort of over the counter drugs.
thanks in advance. :]

I have carpel tunnel with some arthritic pain in my left wrist. I'm nowhere near as young as you are (I'm in my early 30's) but still, there isn't much in the way of age limits. The reason people typically associate arthritis (chronic arthritic pain) with the elderly is because their joints have obviously aged and weakened more.
