What Causes Extreme Fatigue Along With Pain In The Left Elbow?
HI, My name is Suzanne. I am 59 years old and have been in good health. I don t take medications except an occasional aspirin or 2. I walk approx. 2-3 miles a day. I eat fairly healthy. I drink socially about 2-3 times per week and not usually to excess. Recently I have been experiencing extreme fatigue even when I have had 8 hrs of sleep. My left elbow area has been aching constantly . Both my knees feel like they are inflamed( I can actually feel puffy areas above both knees0 and when I squat down I can hardly get up due to the pain. Any ideas?

Hello,
The pain around the knee, difficulty in raising after squat suggest arthritis-related changes in the joints which also applies to left elbow.
Extreme fatigue sounds vitamin or iron deficiency. Primary relief with analgesic, a balanced nutritious diet with high intake of iron, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants.
Consult your doc for complete case evaluation and diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
