Evaluation needed: Your symptoms are nonspecific and require a thorough history and system review, complete physical examination and appropriate testing in order to make a differential diagnosis and prescribe proper treatment or make a referral to a specialist. Possibilities include diabetes, overactive thyroid, autoimmune arthritis or malignancy. If it turns out to be anxiety, stress management therapy should help.
