Are Pain In Joints, Knee, Ball Of Foot, Toes, Elbow And Shoulders Concerning?

I have pain in my joints on the left side of my body. My knee and the ball of my foot are the worst, the second and third toe on my left foot are spreading apart My knee aches a lot when I lay on my left side. My elbow and shoulder also ache. I work in aged care but I do wear very good shoe. Any ideas? The last few days I have also had pain in my back.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the multiple joints like you are having is suggestive of polyarthralgia. This needs a proper examination and a few blood investigations to find out the cause.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
