Hi, it appears to be the osteoarthritis, due to the old age changes of the bones, or fibromyalgia, as the hemoglobin is very low 7% it can can cause the disability. The injections will improve your blood picture secondarily you may have relief. Gluten sensitivity has nothing to do with the condition.
