I feel like I'm having arthritis, but I am a hyperchondriac, so what I feel might be due to the syndrome?

So I've been getting joint pains for the past few weeks. It's getting worse. I went to the doctor and the doctor told me to take ibuprofren. So here's the thing, I am double jointed, so I thought it might have something to do with it. 2 days ago, I went for a jogging and my chest hurts so bad (near the spine) it feels as if I dislocated my spine or something. Sometimes, I feel like my joints were about to fall off. What should I do?

    Being double-jointed just means that you have unusual flexibility in certain joints, not a double set of joints. Go see your doctor and get tested for lyme disease, which can cause joint pain. Arthritis is also a possibility, although it doesn't tend to develop in all your joints at once.
