Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.

Seems your wife is suffering from multiple joint pain - Polyarthritis.

I would suggest her to get examined by an Orthopaedician for multiple joint pains . She would be asked to undergo few blood tests like Hb, RBS, TLC, DLC, ESR, RA factor, CRP and Thyroid profile along with routine urine examination. These investigations will help us find out the exact cause. Discuss with your doctor.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.

Take care
