What Causes Pain In The Knees And Feet ?
Thanks for your query. There are several possibilities which need to be entertained considering your signs and symptoms.
The first one is Fibromyalgia in which there’s persistent widespread pain, stiffness, fatigue & usually disrupted unrefreshing sleep.
Other possibilities are SLE, rheumatoid arthritis & hypothyroidism. You’ll need to undergo a few tests to reach to a diagnosis.
TSH levels will help us in ruling out hypothyroidism. An ESR if raised and the presence of XXXXXXX suggests the possibility of some inflammatory joint disease like rheumatoid arthritis or SLE.
The specific tests for Rheumatoid arthritis are rheumatoid factor and anti-CCP antibodies and that of SLE is anti-ds DNA.
The treatment will depend upon the underlying diagnosis. Please do consult a Rheumatologist for the same as it is not possible to make an online diagnosis.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions then please do post us.
Wishing you good health.
