Before supplements : Start with your family doc or general practitioner for an exam. Your doc can order tests that will further shed some light on the actual cause for your symptoms. Light physical exercise should be attempted.

Agree with Dr. P: In addition to healthy diet and regular exercise may help. You may take glucosamine chondroitin. Visit this site for information on this medication. https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/glucosamine-and-chondroitin-for-osteoarthritis Wish you good health!
