After a 5 hour flight every joint in my body hurts. Most people dont seem to have this issue. What’s wrong with me?

I think it's American for GP but I might be wrong

Not something ive ever heard an American say.

GP, physician, doctor. Never "PCP".

PCP is an incredibly common term in the US.

Maybe it's regional or something.

I've at least seen/read phrases "Primary Care" and "Primary Care Physician", but I've never once heard of anyone using the acronym "PCP" for it. Not until this ccomment thread.

Asked a couple other people just now, they'd never heard it used either.
