What Is Causing The Inflammation And Pain In My Joints?

Hi.. I m a 41 yr old strength and conditioning coach in New Orleans . For the past year and a half I ve dealt with just one major issue; achilles tendonapthy. However , in the past 6 months, I ve noticed some issues : tired all the time, low energy, low sex drive and joint pain. In the last month, all of the above have worsened especially with inflammation and severe joint pain in all of my joints with some numbness in my fingers.. I excercise regularly and have noticed that my strength has steadily declined as well . Should I be concerned with any thyroid issues? And lastly , in the past week , it s been hard to even get out of bed bc of the joint pain and stiffness in my neck, feet, elbows, etc.. Any suggestions
