Yeah, it sounds like it *could* be arthritis. I get aches in my wrists and elbows (but they say mine is fibromyalgia).
Anyway, is there any chance you could have diabetes?? Added weight can trigger diabetes.
I don't want to scare you but my dad is a diabetic and his first symptoms were aching feet (although he often complained that his "burned").
I would go in and have a full check up. Have them check your blood sugar as well.
If it's arthritis, they can give you a prescription anti inflammatory that should help. I'm on one called Piroxicam and it helps my aches.You take care of yourself and keep us posted.
