What Causes Joint Pain, Dry Mouth And Constipation?
I have joint pain (back, heels, wrists), am badly constipated and have noticed lately I have dry mouth. I walk 2-3 miles a day, and have been since February, but noticed my joints are worse and not better. I ve been eating greens and drinking Prune juice to no avail.

Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, the assembly of joints pain, dry mouth and constipation are relaed to possible endocrine dysfunction.
- sjogren syndrome ( auto immune phenomenon with damage to many body systems)
- thyroid disorder
- others.
If any of the supportive reports done by your doc are available to discuss here, better options can be explored out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
