What Causes Pain In The Shoulder And Knees Along With Fatigue?

My sister has the following symptoms following a bout of pneumonia - pain in her shoulders, debilitating pain in her knees, hands falling asleep, low or no energy, - pain is constant and prevents her from sleeping at night. Once she is up and moving she is improved but if she sits or lies down getting up is extremely difficult - like getting out of the car after a very short drive or getting out of bed in the morning. She does not have a fever or rash of any kind so don t think this is Lyme Disease. Very debilitating and she is usually a very high energy and high functioning person. Any ideas?

Hi,

How old is she? Since when she is suffering from? Possibilities like Fibromyalgia or Vitamin d deficiency or hypothyroidism or chikungunya fever or lyme disease or chronic fatigue syndrome or anemia or sepsis, etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is use tablet Ubinext LC before breakfast for one week. Get it done hemoglobine status and serum electrolytes then thyroid profile. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
