Mystery Ankle Pain

I am a 23 year old woman who is looking for futher help in solving my mysterious pain. For the past year I have been experincing episodes of sudden sharp shooting pain in my ankles. I will stand up and go to walk, I will suddenly get sharp shooting pains in my ankles almost as if they are locking up, and I will literally fall to the floor. I not only experince it in my ankles but in my wrists as well. These episodes may last from a couple days to a week or two. Then they will disappear for sometime with no incident.

The worst is when I wake in the middle of the night to use the restroom. I will step on the floor, have the sharp pain which makes me fall to the bed for support, then as I set my hand/wrist on the bed to catch myself I will get a shooting pain in my wrist.

I know I am young, but I have other various medical issues that doctors were suprised at me having due to my age. I have Facet Joint Disease in my lower back, and Bursitis and Tendinitis in my left hip.

Any help or advice will be appreciated. I have a two year old and would like to keep up with her.
