Is High C-reactive Proyein Level Related To Fatigue And Joint Pain?
I went to the doctor with symptoms of weight gain, fatigue, joint pain, and feeling cold. She did a full thyroid panel, as I have a strong family history, and she tested my c-reactive protein level. My thyroid results were all normal, but my C-reactive protein level was slightly elevated; however, she told me it was nothing to worry about. Is that true? I just don't feel well.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The elevated levels of C- reactive protein can be related to auto innune disorders causing the generalized joint pain like you are having.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
