Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Two possible diagnosis can be made from what you have told us here. First is hypothyroidism, check your TSH levels and another one is Rheumatoid arthritis. For RA, do RA factor and anti-CCP levels. We can proceed accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jayganesh
