What Causes Severe Fatigue, Left Knee Pain And Lump On Back Of Neck?

Hi, I m 37 and a female...I have my own cleaning business. For the past couple weeks my arms and legs feel really tired/heavy, and my left knee hurts. Every night I ve been in bed before 10:00 pm, which is not like me at all. Also last month I found a lump on the back of my neck. My doctor ran white blood cell test and to see if I d been bit by a tick. All came back normal or negative. Not sure what the problem could be. Should I go see my doctor? Thank you.

Hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

As you mentioned there is pain in the neck region, back region and left knee a thorough neuro-muscular assessment is guided for further assistance. As due to heavy work loads, over a period of time, there is a strain in the muscles of the neck and back region. Also, the knee is a weight bearing joint and may have some wear and tear in the joint and can lead to stress on the ligaments of the knee joint.

Post assessment of the neck region, back region and knee, a provisional diagnosis is made. Based on which the next treatment plan can be designed.

Based on the symptoms, i will advice you to take hot water fermentation on the affected region . Also, undergoing a physical therapy , the therapist will help with Therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy for inflammation and pain. Post which the exercises will be planned to make the muscles stronger in the back region, neck region and knee. Also, by performing the exercises the fatigue issue of your will be solved.

In my personal practice i have seen cases with same issues and have found 99% recovery in them. I wish the same from you.
