Default lifting pains

Does anyone in here lift regularly?


I began lifiting 18 months ago after 2 surgeries (ACL/MCL tear and Severed Ulnar Nerve) and have put on about 25 lbs, but recently I have had SEVERE pains in my wrist, elbow and knee (not the one I had surgery on). I stretch weekly, do cardio 2x weekly, and lift 3x weekly. I am only 25 so I really hope its not my age. I have tried wraps incase of tendonitus and icy hot, neither helps. Any suggestions the only thing i can think of is that i put on too much muscle too fast. I am only taking Muscle Milk no other supplements, my lifts have gone up signifigantly in the 18 months could that be it?

Bench up to 285 from 190
Squat up to 435 from 315
deadlift up to 455 from ??? (never did it before)
Cleans up to 225 from ??? (never did it before)

I'm 5'11, 191 with like 9% body fat so i dont think that i have put on too much weight???

I have never sought help from a CPT so just wondering if there are any experts on here
