What Could Headache, Pain In Joints Causing Limited Mobility Mean?

I have been attending gp since February with headaches, aching joints & limited mobility. I have spells of smelling smoke even though no one else does. I am getting very frustrated, MRI is clear I am now waiting on further blood test results. What could this be?

Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.There are two disease in my mind. First you can have vitamin D deficiency. You can get vitamin D level and if found low you can take supplements of vitamin D3. Second possibility is osteoarthritic as you are also having limited mobility. You have not mentioned your age so if you are more than 50 years of age then you are more likely to be having osteoarthritic. Its treatment is glucosamine and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. If you are younger then possibility of rheumatoid arthritis is there. You can get rheumatoid factor test and ESR for getting a clue to your diagnosis. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
