Hello,

Indeed, your symptoms of feeling tired with painful hands and knees are indicating a possible rheumatological problem.

As I cannot have a complete physical exam on you, I recommend consulting with your primary first and:

- make an appointment with a rheumatologist.

- run a few diagnostic tests: complete blood count, ERS, CRP, ANA test, rheumatoid factor to evaluate the related changes.

For the moment, I can only advise taking:

- otc painkillers
- apply analgesic cream locally
- take magnesium+calcium+vit.D+zinc supplement.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
