What Causes Fatigue And Painful Swelling In The Ankles, Elbows And Shoulders?
My husband is 52 and very active. He works outside cutting grass and weed eating at work. He has been complaining of his ankles, elbows and shoulders hurting. Now his ankles are swollen to the size of softballs and he is having a hard time walking. He is usually very energetic. The last week he has been exhausted and sleeping a lot. No fever. last night it was 77 in the house and he was cold.
