I have been running for over 20 years -- now at 51 I have suddenly developed extremely painful joint flare-ups. This has all started in the past three months. Prior to this there I have never had arthritic type problems.
The flare-ups seem to hit once every 2-4 days...last two days and then go away. The doctors have run all the blood test for all the auto immune diseases and they all come back negative.
My wife (a non-runner) observes they seem to be worse after a long training run (I'm training to run my third marathon) -- does anyone out there have a similar condiiton, and if so, can you tell if longer runs (13-26 miles) tend to bring on flare-ups?

56 year old fitness runner here. Are you on any new meds that might be the source of your problem? My family has a history of heart problems....big time. Two years ago a doctor tried me on several statin drugs. Body parts that I didn't even realize I had, started hurting. Can't comment on arthritis...yet.

Sudden increase in mileage or terrain? Trip or fall? New/different shoes? Less time in recovering from a previous marathon
You know what they say, if it hurts it's too much and maybe some rest or backing down is needed and a trip to the GP for checkup.
