Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your symptoms could be related to a metabolic disorder or a connective tissue disorder (considering the joint and muscle pain).
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical check up and some tests to investigate for the possible causes underlying your symptoms:
- a complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate for inflammation
- blood electrolytes
- vitamin D and vitamin B12 plasma levels for possible deficiency
- thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction
- Rheumatoid factor levels
- Anti-nuclear antibody levels
- a nerve conduction study to exclude possible neuropathy.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
