General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

We have to rule out possible causes like fibromyalgia.

Consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

We have to rule out other causes like anemia and thyroid dysfunctions also.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
