Tendon/joint Pain. Please Help!!!?

Question by : Tendon/joint pain. Please help!!!?
I’m only 18 years old but for the past year I’ve had all over joint pain. Both knees. Both shoulders. Both wrists this all started a couple months after I lost about 40 pounds and physical therapy for past 6 months hasn’t helped. How am I so banged up and not recovering at only 18 years old!!!
