Brief Answer:
low testosterone

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You have been feeling weak and tired recently with some joint pain. This could be a sign of low testosterone levels. I recommend that you see your doctor and have a Am testosterone level done. If it is low you would be a candidate for testosterone replacement.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again with your health care concerns and questions
