Achiness In All Joints Of The Body, Buttocks, Left Thigh. Which Specialist Do I Need To See?
About 2 months ago I developed achiness in almost all of my joints like shoulders, hips, thumbs and sometimes feel like it is really hard to just take a step. I thought it was my crestor but am still experiencing the joint aches even though I stopped the crestor 3 weeks ago. I also have a pain in middle of left buttocks and top of left thigh that varies from day to day. Am just wondering where I need to go next.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Pain in multiple joints is likely to be polyarthralgia due to an autoimmune disorder or calcium or vitamin D 3 deficiency. You need to consult a rheumatologist for a detailed evaluation so that specific treatment can be initiated early.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
