Question : I am suddenly experiencing joint aches from my hands, jaw knee and hips but not all at the same time. I do have arthritis in my knee and hips but these new attacks are totally new. I also am fatigued and have a head cold I cannot seem to shake, 4 weeks now

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

To me it seems that your arthritis has been aggravated by cold .
I would suggest that you get X Ray chest , Complete hemogram, Liver and kidney function tests , Blood sugar Fasting and after meals to rule out any chronic cause for cough and fatigue. With cold and fatigue body aches are common and may effect joints at different times.

In the meantime I suggest you take mild pain killers like acetaminophen . Please let us know your reports.

Thanks for the question. Please feel free to ask any other question.
