What Causes Severe Fatigue And Pain In The Hands?
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
