Experiencing Joint Shoulder & Knee Pain

I am 69 yrs. old. Fairly good health. Have been experiencing over all joint pain .from shoulder to knees all the time and seem to be extremely fatigued even though I feel as though I have slept well. Usually I am fairly active... Have been under stress recently. But have tried to stay busy. I do take Naproxen for some back problems. Have loss a wee bit of weight in the last six months.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Seems you are suffering from multiple joint pain - Polyarthritis . Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most common causes for Polyarthritis. It could be due to anxiety also.

I would suggest you to get yourself examined by an Orthopaedician for multiple joint pains . You 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
