Nope, and I am 63 years old...but joints are OK...Maybe you have some type of allergy?
actually, I experienced less joint pain after quiting the analogs and going with a PV ..
I have been experiencing a lot of joint pain for about a month.
I do have a Dr. appt. but can't help but wonder.

Yeah..........I hate going to the Dr. but this is just weird. It goes beyond just achy. It is downright painful. I don't have any VG only to see if it would make a difference. The problem is I doubt the Dr. would know what I am talking about if I ask about the possibility of it being PG related if they don't know what it is from a blood test.
I have arthritis in my hips, probably from sitting to many spook spins from my horses. I am on my feet at work on concrete floors for 8 hours. I have less pain since I started vaping. I figured it was because my Vit C is no longer being depleted.
From what I've understood, dehydration can cause aches. Another possiblity is that it is completely unrelated to vaping. Do your own research and bring it to the doctor. If he listens, keep the doctor, whether or not you like the prognosis, but always be willing to get a second opinion.
I haven't had achy joints after I started vaping, but I also make sure I eat foods with omega 3 fatty acids...
Both my husband and I did. It started about a week in and went away for both of us a few days after that.
When I first quit smoking/started vaping, the joint pain was unbelievable for a few weeks —.all over, pretty much every joint in my body was hurting. It was just one of the many lovely symptoms of quitting smoking, though, because it went away. The only joint pain I ever attribute to vaping now is my jaw. I sometimes have the perfect storm of an extra nicotine craving and a dying atty. I suck too hard, too often and end up with jaw pain for a day or two. ouch.
I'm going to get checked out by the doc but assume he won't have any info on PG or VG either. Also going to get checked for Lyme disease.
I also have joint pain on and off. From what I've read, vapers need to drink water and there is a condition that builds up in the joints when you don't. Try drinking more water and see if it helps. Something I like is Mio. A little flavoring to add to ice water that is real nice. Hardly drink any soda because of Mio. Find in your grocery store.

One possibility is that smoking helps some folks to keep pain under control. It may be the nicotine. If so, the reason for feeling joint pain when switching to vaping may well be that a puff of vapor delivers from 1/3 to only 1/10 the amount of nicotine as a puff of tobacco smoke. So the joint pain would be equivalent to a nicotine withdrawal symptom.
If it is some other chemical in smoke that helps with the joint pain, that's even more of a reason why folks who switch to vaping might experience joint pain. Vapor is not smoke. Vapor is missing most of the chemicals delivered by smoke.
I have started taking Move Free, a brand of chondroitin and glucosamine.
My husband's doctor recommended it for his plantar faciitis (pain in the heel).
Another supplement that might help with the joint pain is bromelain, an extract of pineapple. Bromelain relieves inflammation. Inflammation causes pain. Reducing inflammation can reduce pain. I took 500 mg four times a day starting the day before dental surgery (and continuing for two days after surgery) and did not even fill the prescription I was given for oxycodone.

I also had a significant increase in joint pain when I stopped smoking.
I attributed it to being able to actually feel what was hurting without the added drugs a cigarette was contributing to my meds which my doctors agreed could be happening.
Of course any change in humidity can also cause this problem for me having fibromyalgia, arthritis and RSDS.
I found I could mostly stop taking steroid shots in my hands, knees, wrists,fingers, hips and shoulders after I started vaping perhaps due to the cigarette chemicals getting out of my system.
I was able to accurately gauge whom was hurting and from what.
Don't get me wrong I hate feeling the pain but I like knowing why I'm having it!
My pain meds do the job when nothing else is being added to my system I think.
I believe the tiny amounts of nicotine most likely seem to help my pain not be so bad.....
I don't think there is any test to really tell you why though is there?

Could be a million different things..arthritus, lupus, osteoporosis, lyme disease, strain from an increase in physical activity, tendinitis, fibromialgia, improper diet,
I'm not sure if you're over 45, but it is very common for those who are to experience joint pain and develop arthritis as they age. Both of parents and most of my family members have.
