What Causes Extreme Fatigue, Swollen, Painful Joints, Memory Issues And Weight Gain?

Hello. I am having extreme fatigue, difficulty in remembering things, and weight gain. I also have swollen, painful joints. I also have a burning hot pain in the back of my thigh to my knee. I had a blood test recently. Results were high cholesterol, and mild inflammation. I am also starting to have anxiety issues. I have been under stress lately, but am trying to destress as much as possible. Thank you for your help

Hi there.

You could be suffering from Diabetes or peripheral neuropathy due to other causes. Other possibility could be slipped disc causing nerve pinching. I advise you to get tested for Diabetes and also take Tablet Pregabalin with Methylcobalamine for relief from the burning pain.
