Soreness throughout my body

[Bingo27]

Hi All,

I am a 29 year old from male the north east...relatively good health until about 5 months ago when I began feeling sore in different parts of my body...as of today, I wake up with soreness in my fingers, elbows, shoulders, knees, and toes.  It's not pain like streakes down my leg but constant soreness.  I feel it most in the AM and when I get out of my office chair...

Any Thoughts

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!

This could be from sitting in a cramped position for too long. You should get up once in a while and take small walks. It could be due to Vitamin B12 deficiency. Hypothyroidism and diabetes too should be ruled out.
It could also be ‘fibromyalgia’. This is associated with fatigue “a heightened and painful response to gentle touch (allodynia), needle-like tingling of the skin, muscle aches, prolonged muscle spasms, weakness in the limbs, nerve pain, functional bowel disturbances and chronic sleep disturbances.” “Although fibromyalgia is classified based on the presence of chronic widespread pain, pain may also be localized in areas such as the shoulders, neck, low back, hips, or other areas.” Alternatively you should be tested for gout and rheumatoid arthritis.

It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
