Suggest Treatment For Fever , Joint Pain And Fatigue
My sedimentation rate is 51 but my cbc tests were all normal. My doctor said it is not cancer or diabetes. My symptoms come and go about every 4 weeks. They start like the flu with fever and joint pain that lasts a couple of days, followed by extreme fatigue for about a week. Then I have 3 or 4 weeks of feeling good. Any ideas what this could be?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have fever , joint pain and fatigue. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like carpal tunnel syndrome , rheumatoid arthritis , medication reaction or side-effect , acute sinusitis , viral syndrome or mononucleosis. I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor may order blood test , urine test to check uric acid or take history . Doctor may prescribe anti viral like acyclovir , anti inflammatory , anti pyretic or refer you to orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . For now take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and drink plenty of water .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
