What Causes Total Body Pain With Knuckles Stiffness And Pain?

I am a 39 year old Chinese female. I have been suffering from a host of pain in my body including back, hip, knees, feet and most recently my knuckles which are stiff, painful and weak. The pain in my knuckles probably arose from my learning to play the cello 6 months ago. This is really sad as I really want to be able to play this instrument. I am also feeling very very tired. I have already quit my job so I do not know why I am still feeling this tired.

I would suggest you to get yourself examined by an Orthopaedician for multiple joint pains . You would be asked to undergo few blood tests like Hb, RBS, TLC, DLC, ESR, RA factor, CRP and Thyroid profile along with routine urine examination. These investigations will help us find out the exact cause. Discuss with your doctor.

You can take Vit.D and calcium supplements. Pain killers like Indomethacin 25mg can be taken to reduce stiffness and pain. Routine physical activity is always advised as this will prevent stiffness from aggravating
