My toes (feet) - How it feels? Everyone gets aching feet after a long day, but burning, tingling numbness, or pain under the heel and around the arch that affects only one foot can have a different cause. What could have cause it? Tarsal tunnel syndrome, the foot version of carpal tunnel syndrome, is most common in people with flt feet. Plantar fasciitis or "policeman's foot" an inflammation around the heel bone caused by abnormalities in the way you walk, is also a common.
Treatment and prevention - Arch supports and wider shoes may help tarsal tunnel syndrome. Steroid injections can relieve symptoms in severe cases. Ensure that shoes fit well, avoid standing for long periods, and always warm up properly before exercising.

My knees - How it feels? Stiff and swollen joints make it difficult to bend or straighten the knee. Symptoms are often worse in the morning or a period of inactivity. What could have cause it? Knee joints are often affected by arthritis. Knee bursitis or housemaid knee, can develop when fluid filled bursa sac around your joint become inflamed through an infection or is irritated by too much movement.

My shoulder - How it feels? An achy pain that you notice after particular activities. You may also find that your movement is restricted. What could have cause it? Any kind of overuse can stress the shoulder joint. Shoulder muscles can become strained or tendons can become inflamed. Frozen shoulder develops when you avoid moving your shoulder because of another pain or injury.
