Hello,
The symptoms you mentioned can be caused by osteoarthritis, vitamin D deficiency, thyroid hormone dysfunction or a multi system disease like Lupus, so I would recommend you to visit Internist / Rheumatologist to evaluate.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Wajahat Baig, Internal Medicine Specialist
